Is there a fee for employees to access LinkedIn Learning?
No. Lincoln University has partnered with LinkedIn Learning through a contractual agreement and this valuable on-demand learning opportunity is at no cost to you!
Who is eligible to access the LinkedIn Learning training?
Currently, only full-time faculty and staff members employed by Lincoln University are eligible. Students, adjuncts, and those who work for contracted companies are not eligible. A second rollout phase is planned to allow students access to LinkedIn Learning.
When will active Lincoln University students gain access to LinkedIn Learning’s resources?
The University is piloting LinkedIn Learning to full-time faculty and staff in the spring and summer of 2020 and will offer it to students in fall 2020.
Will I receive college credit?
No, these courses are for professional development and not credit-bearing.
Will Lincoln University have access to view my LinkedIn activity on my personal account?
Lincoln University’s HR and IT staff will have access to your learning activity. Lincoln University will not have access to any of your personal information on your LinkedIn account.
LinkedIn will not give your employer access to private activity from your personal LinkedIn account, such as:
How do I start?
As part of the on-boarding process as a new full-time faculty or staff member, Human Resources will initiate the LinkedIn Learning welcome email. For current employees, Human Resources has submitted a complete list of full-time faculty and staff to LinkedIn Learning.
I’ve started a course, but it’s not a good fit for what I needed. Can I stop taking it mid-course?
Yes.
Am I required to do any training? Will not doing training affect my annual review?
Whether training through LinkedIn Learning is required is a decision that is determined by your supervisor. You can be expected to complete training or learning courses if you and your supervisor have identified related performance management objectives as part of your annual performance review.
Will my supervisor know if I complete LinkedIn Learning training or learning courses?
No, only Human Resources and Information Technology have access to view all courses viewed or completed. You will be able to view and share your transcript when you log in.
Can I complete this training during my regular workday?
While meeting the operational needs of departments, supervisors and department chairs are encouraged to discuss with their direct reports job related on-demand learning modules that may be accessed during the workday.
Most employees really do want to learn and grow at work. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities may feel more satisfaction toward their jobs.
Can I use a mobile device to access LinkedIn Learning?
Check LinkedIn Learning's Systems Requirements to ensure LinkedIn Learning will be able to run on your device, then visit LinkedIn Learning's app site to download the app for your device.
To login via your mobile device: Open the app, tap Login, and then select the Organization tab. On the Organization tab, under the Web Portal section, type lincoln.edu in the field, and then tap the Log in button. Then enter your username and password to access LinkedIn Learning.
What if I’m a new Lincoln full-time faculty or staff member, but already have a personal LinkedIn Learning account?
You may continue to use your personal LinkedIn Learning account separately from your Lincoln University account. When you activate your Lincoln University account, you will have the opportunity to transfer course history to your Lincoln account, but it is not recommended. This action cannot be reversed – you cannot transfer course history from your Lincoln account back into your personal account.
What happens to my LinkedIn Learning account if I leave Lincoln University?
Your Lincoln account will become inactive. We recommend you download or print any notes or certificates you want to keep before departing.
