LinkedIn Learning is a library of widespread instructional videos with content available under the latest business, technology, and creative based skills. Courses are recommended to you based on personal interests and designed to successfully encourage your learning. Access to this platform is provided by the college.
As a part of this access, LinkedIn Learning is able to successfully be integrated into Moodle. This means that access to the platform can be provided from inside Moodle, and can be used to provide integral or supplemental class materials.
Before you start, you may need access to the following:
- An Instructor of record or Other editing teacher role in a Moodle course
- A LinkedIn Learning account. If you haven't signed up for LinkedIn Learning yet, visit https://www.linkedin.com/learning and sign in with your college credentials
