Why Use LinkedIn Learning?
LinkedIn Learning is an award-winning industry leader in online training, with a digital library of more than 18,000 courses covering a wide range of technical, business/professional and creative topics, and new courses are added every week.
Instructors will be able to draw on LinkedIn Learning’s extensive database of courses, learning paths and individual videos to enrich their classes. LinkedIn Learning materials can be integrated directly into Canvas course pages to complement other course components as well as provide additional resources for students.
In addition, LinkedIn Learning is a prime resource for professional development and learning new skills. LinkedIn Learning lets you learn at your own pace and view content relevant to your current role, interests and passions with courses in areas such as financial literacy, social media, time management, drawing and music theory and much more. It allows learners to explore and cultivate key areas both at and outside of work or school.
LinkedIn Learning benefits include:
- Short videos or full-length courses
- Audio-only lessons to enrich your commute
- Bookmarking courses to return to
- Custom learning paths to target goals
- Progress tracking in videos, courses and learning paths
- Certificates of course completion to add to your LinkedIn profile
- Integration with Canvas
- Selective, curated course integration with Bridge
- Downloadable learning when and where you want, whether through the app or a web browser
If you’re new to LinkedIn Learning, this How to Use LinkedIn Learning course is a great place to start. Happy learning!

Canvas Integration
LinkedIn Learning is available to be integrated into Canvas courses.
If an instructor wishes to assign a LinkedIn Learning video or course as part of the overall content in a course module, we suggest embedding the LinkedIn Learning content in a Page in the relevant Module. A graded assignment, quiz, or discussion may then be appropriate to assess the content learned.
If a LinkedIn Learning video or course is an integral part of a graded assignment, it may be added as an external tool to the Assignment:
To direct students to LinkedIn Learning but not to a specific video, add LinkedIn Learning as a Module item.
