Using LinkedIn Learning
Collections and Learning Paths
Learning Paths suggest content in a specific order and Collections (formerly Playlists in Lynda) suggest content without a specific order. You can add custom content like links and pdfs to these.
You can recommend and share custom learning paths and collections with your students and colleagues. LinkedIn Learning also provides ready-made learning paths that you can recommend, share, or tailor to your learners.
