LinkedIn Learning LTI (available in all U-M Canvas courses)
Issue
Where can I find out more about LinkedIn Learning and how to use it in a Canvas course?
LinkedIn Learning is a leading online-learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology, and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. All active faculty, staff (including temporary employees) and students at the University of Michigan.have access to the LinkedIn Learning video library of over 16,000 engaging, top-quality, on-demand courses taught by recognized industry experts. Members can also connect their LinkedIn Learning history to their LinkedIn account for a more personalized learning experience.
Resolution
LinkedIn Learning content (full courses or individual videos or other media) can be integrated into a Canvas course by setting up an External Tool within either:
- an assignment, which allows for completion of the activity to be logged in the Canvas gradebook.
- a module, which then functions similarly to the External link (URL) module item.
The steps for selecting and adding content to a Canvas course can be found here: Canvas: Adding LinkedIn Learning Content to a Canvas Course
