The Blackboard LinkedIn Learning LTI upgrade offers:
Start in your Blackboard course shell at Content> Build Content> LinkedIn Learning to begin adding Linkedin Learning content for your course.
The Kettering University Library subscribes to LinkedIn Learning (formally known as Lynda.com) and it's available in a different login portal than LinkedIn. LinkedIn Learning account must be created in your @kettering.edu email. You have the option to have your LinkedIn profile in your @kettering.edu email or in your personal email. You do have the ability to link them together (see next tab).
Steps to Create - Click on http://linkedin.kettering.edu/ and it will take you to this page (see screenshot below)
If you already have a LinkedIn Profile in your @kettering.edu email and your accounts are connected, please type that email and click continue, from there you will be prompted for your LinkedIn password, type your password and click continue again to be taken to the LinkedIn Learning homepage
If you don't already have a LinkedIn Profile in your @kettering.edu email or you have one in your personal email, please create a LinkedIn Learning Profile using this activation link: https://lnkd.in/gF72z53N (You do have the ability to keep your personal LinkedIn Profile and LinkedIn Learning Accounts separate, but linking them - see next tab- has tons of benefits)
P.S. Do not use the 'Sign in with your Library card' option, as we don't have that activated
Linking your LinkedIn Profile to your LinkedIn Learning Account is optional, but it offers a few benefits, such as the ability to share certificates to your profile. You can read more about the benefits here.
To connect your LinkedIn profile after LinkedIn Learning Account Creation:
Log into LinkedIn Learning.
Click your photo in the top right corner, and select Settings from the dropdown that appears.
Below Connect your LinkedIn account to your LinkedIn Learning account provided by your organization, and click Connect my account.
Log into LinkedIn Learning again.
If you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy, click Accept and continue.

Only current Kettering affiliates are able to have access to LinkedIn Learning, as the license is restricted. If you want access to LinkedIn Learning after graduation, you will have to purchase individually. The cost is around 19.99 per month after a 1-month free trial.
