  • Personalized learning recommendations based on your learning profile, viewed videos and industry.
  • Option to link LinkedIn Learning account to personal LinkedIn profile to display badges after completing courses
    • Note: This is not required to view content.
  • Ability to add custom content alongside LinkedIn Learning content for customized courses.

Current Lynda.com users will receive an email to their UARK account from LinkedIn Learning on July 7 with a link to activate.
