Learn how to use the LinkedIn learning integration.

This article will explain how to use the LinkedIn integration.

For an introductory article about the LinkedIn integration and its benefits, please read our separate article here. 

For information on how to set up the LinkedIn integration, please read our separate article here. 

What does the LinkedIn integration do? 

  • Once your LinkedIn integration is set up, courses from LinkedIn will appear in Learn Amp as Items.

  • Each Item contains a deep link to the course in LinkedIn.

  • When you launch one of these, our Platform will create a pop-up, through which users will be able to access LinkedIn’s content.

  • When learners complete content on the LinkedIn system (when they have launched the pop-up from a link within the Platform), completion activity will be reported back into the Learn Amp Platform. 

  • If they complete content on the LinkedIn Platform, it will be marked as started and complete on their Learn Amp profile.

How can I use the LinkedIn integration? 

Please note, this is from the perspective of a learner role. For all other roles, it will also work the same.

Step 1: Search for a topic in the Library

  • Go to the Library.

  • Search for a topic that you would like to learn about on LinkedIn.

  • Ensure that you have selected "Course" in the filter, to ensure that only LinkedIn courses appear.

 

Step 2: Select the chosen course 

  • Select which course you'd like to learn about.

  • Press the button "Take this course".

 

Step 3: Complete the course in LinkedIn

  • The button will then launch you into the LinkedIn website.

  • Complete the course on the LinkedIn website.

 

The Learn Amp platform will then report on this:

  • The Learn Amp Platform will then automatically report on actions completed on the LinkedIn site.

  • If you complete the course in LinkedIn, this will be reported in Learn Amp.

  • There are no further actions required on your part.

Please see the example below, where the user's actions from LinkedIn have been synced into their Learn Amp Activity Log.

 

FAQ:

I've completed a course in LinkedIn but it hasn't shown up in Learn Amp. What's happened? 

If you've completed a course in LinkedIn but it's not showing up yet as "Completed" in Learn Amp, please do not worry.

There is a daily sync between LinkedIn and Learn Amp every 24 hours. 

If it has been longer than 24 hours, then please get in touch.
