How does LinkedIn Learning support you as a teacher?

How can you lead your classroom using LinkedIn Learning?
- Flip the classroom with whole courses from LinkedIn Learning.
- Report on student progress and celebrate “power learners” to boost positivity.
- Assign playlists to classes or individuals for customized, guided learning or tutoring.
- Run mini-challenges to boost student development, e.g., in STEM, Adobe, or Microsoft.
“Flipping the classroom has become something of a buzzword, but it is more than a trend. It's an effective instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering content outside of the classroom - often online. This is where LinkedIn Learning excels. Faculty can use whole or parts of courses from LinkedIn Learning, assign collections for students to follow, develop learning paths, or conduct a challenge to boost student development. If one student seems to lack a specific skill, such as how to make a table in Word or how to size photos in Photoshop, the teacher can recommend one specific chapter or the whole course to customize teaching for individuals. If faculty want ideas about how or what to enhance their courses with Linkedin Learning, members of the CLEAR staff are available as consultants."
