access Linkedin Learning from canvas
Along with accessing LinkedIn Learning from the Bryant Portal, faculty and students will be able to access LinkedIn Learning right from within their Canvas course. Starting Summer 2023, all courses within Canvas will have a new course menu link called LinkedIn Learning Hub.

- Select the Save & Publish button at the bottom of the page.
linkedin learning collections and learning paths
Collections are an assembly of content, like a playlist, where videos and complete courses from all areas of LinkedIn Learning into one place. Individually videos or sections within a course can be added to a collection. Creating learning collections is a great way to categorize content you’re interested in learning.
Learning paths will indicate a specific series of courses and videos that you’d like your learner to take in sequence. They are designed to help your students acquire a specific skill set or knowledge in a particular area. You can create learning paths for your students, or you can use one of the many already available on LinkedIn Learning. Some examples of learning paths already available are:
