LinkedIn Learning provides a personalised learning experience and is regularly updated with new content. The platform will be expanding its content to include training delivered in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese in addition to their existing collection of courses in English.
There are a number of options for getting started with LinkedIn Learning. If you have an existing or want to create a new LinkedIn Profile you can choose to connect it to your UniSA LinkedIn Learning account. This way you can have your LinkedIn activities integrated with your LinkedIn Profile and manage them all from the same account to save logging in with different usernames and passwords. Click here for more information on how to add LinkedIn Learning courses to your LinkedIn Profile. LinkedIn Learning have also provided more information on their FAQ page. If you don’t want to connect LinkedIn Learning to an existing LinkedIn Profile, you can choose to keep your account as a LinkedIn Learning account only. The following provides some more detailed feedback for getting started:
For the very best user experience, log out of your LinkedIn Profile in your browser prior to activating your LinkedIn Learning account. You can follow the links on the Library’s website to login to LinkedIn Learning. As part of the process you will be asked to login using your UniSA details. You will then be asked if you want to connect your UniSA LinkedIn Learning account to a LinkedIn Profile. If you choose to connect to a LinkedIn Profile:
If you choose to not connect to a LinkedIn Profile:
In LinkedIn Learning, the Share functionality built into the interface only supports Facebook and Twitter at this point in time and we have requested an enhancement to make sharing courses for UniSA users easier for everyone.
In the interim, you can bookmark the course on LinkedIn Learning in your browser to save your link locally, or you can copy and paste the address from the browser to where you want to include it (e.g. in Moodle, Microsoft Word, an email and so forth).
For staff creating links for UniSA users, you can apply an additional change to automatically take the recipient to the UniSA login page. To do this, you can manually add “&auth=true” to the end of the link.
For example: Original link in LinkedIn Learning:
https://www.linkedin.com/learning/project-management-simplified/welcome?u=58640609
Updated link for LinkedIn Learning:
https://www.linkedin.com/learning/project-management-simplified/welcome?u=58640609&auth=true
The experience logging into LinkedIn Learning can differ depending on both the link to the content and whether you are using a stand-alone UniSA LinkedIn Learning account or have connected your UniSA LinkedIn Learning account to your personal LinkedIn profile.
The following points consider these scenarios in more detail and what the login process will look like:
These are links that contain “&auth=true” at the end of the link. These links are the fastest way for UniSA users to login if they have chosen to not connect their LinkedIn Learning account with a LinkedIn profile. If you have connected your LinkedIn profile to your LinkedIn Learning account you will be asked to also login with your LinkedIn profile as part of the process. Example: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/c-plus-plus-essential-training-2/introduction-to-basic-syntax?u=58640609&auth=true
If you have not already logged in with a LinkedIn Learning account:

These links can be identified when they only have the UniSA organisation code but do not have the “&auth=true” added to the end of the link. These links are easier to access for users who have connected their LinkedIn Learning account with their LinkedIn Profile. This scenario also applies to any old Lynda.com links that automatically redirect to LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Learning accounts can still access content but have two extra clicks compared to Scenario 1 Example: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/c-plus-plus-essential-training-2/introduction-to-basic-syntax?u=58640609.

It is important to note that regardless of how you access LinkedIn Learning content, you will always have free access to any video or course as long as you login with your UniSA LinkedIn Learning account or login with your personal LinkedIn profile that has been connected to your UniSA LinkedIn Learning account.
