Details

Linkedin Learning (LiL) offers training courses in 3 broad categories: business, creativity, and technology. Instructors can add LinkedIn courses, or single videos within a course, to introduce new concepts or to reinforce instruction.

The possibilities include:

  • Help your students improve essential software skills
  • Provide a playlist to students on presentation skills ahead of a class presentation
  • Use the videos to help you redesign a unit with a Flipped Classroom approach
MyCanvas Integration

LinkedIn Learning is integrated into MyCanvas. You can add LiL videos to Pages or as a graded assignment. 

 

Connecting Your LinkedIn Profile

During the activation process, you will have the option to link your LinkedIn profile with your LinkedIn Learning account. If you do not have a LinkedIn profile, you can create one.

For detailed information on connecting Linkedin Learning to LinkedIn see: Connecting your
LinkedIn Profile. 

Note

Your LinkedIn and LinkedIn Learning accounts are different. We suggest you use a personal email address to create your LinkedIn account. This ensures privacy and easy access to LinkedIn separate from your work email.
