Campus colleagues,

Earlier this year, I shared a LinkedIn Learning tip with our campus community. Today, I’d like to remind you about LinkedIn Learning’s on-demand eLearning portal, which has expanded their library of offerings and now hosts over 17,000 courses on an array of topics. Courses range from subject refreshers to complete sessions, so there is something for everyone.

• Faculty: Are you starting to plan your courses for the upcoming semester? If so, I want to share with you that we have LinkedIn Learning integration with Canvas. This integration allows you to publish Linkedin Learning content to Canvas’ Pages, Assignments, or Modules. These LinkedIn Learning videos, courses, and learning paths can be assigned to students as prerequisites for classes or as modules to support learning objectives. Additionally, since many of these courses demonstrate real-world applications of the skills being taught, they can enhance the overall classroom experience by showing how the skills will apply outside of the academic setting.  Assignments can be tracked within Canvas to ensure students complete the courses to receive credit.
  To find out more about adding LinkedIn Learning assignments to your Canvas course, visit LinkedIn Learning – Connecting to Canvas.
• Staff: Are you looking to hone existing skills or learn something new? Take advantage of the wealth of courses available to you at no cost with your SJSU LinkedIn Learning account. The online educational offerings can help you discover and develop business, technology-related, and creative skills through expert-led course videos.
