Lynda.com becomes LinkedIn Learning

In February 2019, we will be migrating from Lynda.com to LinkedIn Learning.  The exact date will be announced very soon.

LinkedIn Learning offers a new interface and a range of new features while still providing the same Lynda.com content.  If you currently have an account on Lynda.com, your viewing history, course completions, playlists and other data will all be migrated to the new platform.

What changes will I see?

• Your ‘Playlists’ will now become ‘Collections’
  See What do I need to do? below for details of how shared links to your playlists are affected
• You can connect your UCL LinkedIn Learning account to your personal LinkedIn profile if you have one

What happens if I connect to my LinkedIn profile?

You will get

• more prompts to engage in learning, with LinkedIn Learning recommendations appearing within your LinkedIn profile
• more personalised content recommendations based on what your contacts and people with similar interests and roles are watching
• more insights into learning trends, what LinkedIn influencers and thought leaders are recommending etc.

UCL will only see very limited LinkedIn profile details and your learning history in LinkedIn Learning (as is the case currently).  For more details please Privacy Information for LinkedIn Learning Learners.

What do I need to do?

You don’t need to change anything before the launch.  After that you will need to use a different link to get to LinkedIn Learning but you will still use your UCL credentials to log in and all your data will be migrated automatically to the new platform.

If you have shared links to any of your playlists, these will be redirected to a ‘collection’ in LinkedIn Learning for one year.  You will need to provide a direct link to the collection to replace this link after that time.
