What do I need to do after Lynda.com becomes LinkedIn Learning?
New Access
- On July 9, you will access LinkedIn Learning through lil.vcu.edu. The login link will not be active until July 9 and will require your VCU credentials to log in. In addition, all your data will be migrated automatically to the new platform.
- You will need to download the LinkedIn Learning app to replace the Lynda.com app.
Shared Links and Bookmarks
- If you have shared links to any courses, these will be redirected to a course in LinkedIn Learning for one year. You will need to provide a direct link to replace this after that time.
- If you have any Internet browser bookmarks pointing to a specific Lynda.com course, you will need to append the following to the end of the URL: ?org=vcu.edu
What changes will I see within LinkedIn Learning?
- Your "Playlists" will become "Collections."
- You will be able to take your learning history with you to other organizations that have LinkedIn Learning.
How do I use LinkedIn Learning?
- Learn about the new LinkedIn Learning features and improve your professional skills with LinkedIn Learning.
What happens if I connect my personal LinkedIn profile?
- Please keep in mind that you are not required to connect your personal LinkedIn profile to your UM account.
- UM will only see your LinkedIn profile photo. We will not have access to any other information from your LinkedIn profile. For more details please privacy information for LinkedIn Learning Learners.
- If you connect your personal LinkedIn profile, you will get: more prompts to engage in learning, with LinkedIn Learning recommendations appearing within your LinkedIn profile; more personalized content recommendations based on what your contacts and people with similar interests and roles are watching; and more insights into learning trends, what LinkedIn influencers and thought leaders are recommending.
