LinkedIn Learning connector in Adobe Learning Manager

Introducction

The LinkedIn Learning connector allows you to seamlessly integrate LinkedIn Learning content with Adobe Learning Manager. With this connector, organizations can automatically bring LinkedIn Learning courses into Adobe Learning Manager so learners can find, enroll in, and complete LinkedIn courses directly within the platform.

When set up, learner progress on LinkedIn Learning content is tracked back in Adobe Learning Manager, allowing administrators to monitor completions and time spent. You can schedule automatic content synchronization, run on-demand imports, and filter which courses are brought into your system by language, library, or custom tags.

NOTE
When you import courses from LinkedIn Learning, Adobe Learning Manager generates unique LO (Learning Object) IDs for each course. Learning time spent on LinkedIn Learning content is reported by the LinkedIn platform to Adobe Learning Manager. If the LinkedIn platform does not send this data, Adobe Learning Manager cannot record it, and the time spent will show as zero.
