How do I maximize my teaching time by integrating LinkedIn Learning with my Canvas course? Ways to add LinkedIn Learning content to a Canvas page: Link to an entire LinkedIn Learning course Link to a single video in a LinkedIn Learning course Link to a custom collection that you have made Ways of using LinkedIn Learning content in your Canvas course: Embed LinkedIn Learning content into an assignment Add LinkedIn Learning content as a pre-reading activity Teach technology skills that are required to participate in course activities Create references and ‘additional reading’ with a list of LinkedIn Learning courses, videos, or custom collections Ways of Assessing Student Learning with LinkedIn Learning: There are five different tools you can use to gauge the progress of your students as they use LinkedIn Learning. Notebook Tool Students can type notes about the videos they are watching, and it will save those notes permanently as part of their course. As the instructor, you can have students take notes as a part of their homework for a course. Students also have the option to download their notes and hand them in as an assignment in Canvas. Exercise Files Exercise files are project files or informational documents that the creator of a LinkedIn Learning course uses to complement the video and are a great resource for students when learning new concepts or programs. Students can use exercise files to follow along with the author during the course. As the instructor, you can also customize exercise files and ask students to complete the assignment using those files. Pre-test and post-test Track the amount of completion for a given course by a given student in Canvas gradebook Certificates of completion The majority of LinkedIn Learning courses offer the possibility of earning a Certificate of Completion once the course has been finished by the student. These certificates are downloadable by the student as a PDF, which can then be uploaded to Canvas as confirmation that they have finished the course. Experiencing an issue or need additional support?

How to add LinkedIn Learning Content to your Canvas Course
LTI 1.3 enables you to search, preview, and filter LinkedIn Learning content in a rich course view. You can discover LinkedIn Learning content within Canvas and easily embed the content using a deep-link, offering your students easy access to the content in your course curriculum. This capability is ideal for your students because LinkedIn Learning can support curriculum directly and support skill remediation while connecting them to content expertly produced by the world's largest professional network. Note: While many instructors use Modules, we recommend using Assignments Step 1: Log in to Canvas. Step 2: Navigate to Assignments. Step 3: Click the + Assignment button to create a new Assignment. Step 4: Enter an Assignment Name Step 5: Scroll down to the Submission Type section and select External Tool. Click the Find button. Step 6: In the Configure External Tool pop-up window, click the desired tool from the list. Step 7: In the Link Resource from External Tool pop-up window, enter the content you would like to search for in the text field or select it from the Popular Skills section. Step 8: Use filters to narrow the search results if necessary. Click the Add button next to the content you want to add to your curriculum, and then click the Confirm button. Step 9: Upon returning to the Configure External Tool popup window, click the Select button. Step 10: Upon returning to the Assignments page, scroll down to the Submission Type section and copy the deep-link if necessary. Deep Link: When students click the deep-link, they will be taken to LinkedIn Learning and logged in automatically. Load This Tool In A New Tab: This box is not checked by default. You may want to view the Assignment with the box checked and unchecked to determine which one provides the best student experience. Step 11: Scroll down and click the Save button to preview the embedded course. History Tab As you build new Assignments, no matter what course you’re in, the History tab will always populate with content you’ve previously added. This makes building new Assignments much easier because you no longer need to search for content you have already used in other courses. Track and Sync Student Progress The LTI 1.3 integration gives you visibility into students who have completed course content. As students access and complete content, their activity and progress are tracked in Canvas's gradebook. To track student progress that has been synced with your LMS, do the following: Step 1: Log in to Canvas. Step 2: Navigate to your gradebook. Step 3: Review student progress and completions.
