Dear faculty colleagues,

We are pleased to share that LinkedIn Learning can now be used by students across all of our campuses.

LinkedIn Learning is an on-demand learning platform that houses more than 15,000 video tutorials and training resources about technology, business, and creative skills. The platform has been available for faculty and staff at no cost for several years, and we recently expanded the contract to include students and temporary staff. Students can now use it to get a jump start on Excel or Adobe Creative Cloud, learn a new programming language, or find personalized recommendations based on their interests. 

A new feature gives faculty the option to create collections of content in LinkedIn Learning. These can be incorporated into Canvas or shared with students to compliment their learning resources. You can view more information about LinkedIn Learning for faculty on the University HR website. 

We hope you and your students find this to be a valuable resource to compliment curriculum or support professional development. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We would love to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Ravi Pendse PhD
