What is LinkedIn Learning?

LinkedIn Learning offers a wide range of online training courses that cover sought-after workplace skills. These courses can be integrated into your online academy. This allows your employees to directly access these training courses through the online academy.

Why integrate LinkedIn Learning with my online academy?

  • A wide selection of training courses on sought-after skills

  • Easily integrated into your online academy

  • Choose which LinkedIn Learnings are available in the Library

  • Add LinkedIn Learnings to Learning Playlists with your own training courses

How do I set up the integration?

To make LinkedIn Learning available from your online academy, you need access to LinkedIn Learning, which is a paid feature.

The integration between LinkedIn Learning and your online academy is done via LTI 1.3. LTI handles the entire integration, including user creation, user enrollment, and Single Sign-On.

To use LTI 1.3, you first need to create this integration in the 'Integrations’ section. To achieve this, follow the steps below:

  • Go to ‘Integrations’ in the menu bar

  • Choose ‘LTI 1.3’ under ‘Craining providers’

  • Select ‘Add new Tool

  • Enter the credentials obtained from the other system:

    • Name: You can choose this name yourself

    • OIDC URL (equivalently, authentication URL)

    • JWKS URL

    • Optionally, Redirect URIs

  • Set the integration on ‘Activated’ and save

  • Under ‘Details for the other party', you will see the credentials needed to set up the LTI linkage from the LinkedIn Learning side.

Next, create a learning activity in Rakoo, in which you make a LinkedIn Learning course available via LTI. To achieve this, follow these steps:

  • Go to ‘Courses’ in the menu bar

  • Click on ‘Add’ in the top right corner, and choose LTI under E-learning

  • Enter the details of the learning activity, such as title, duration, and description

  • In the settings select LTI 1.3 under LTI

    • Select the ‘Tool’, which you have created in the previous steps

    • Enter the Resource URL

    • Optionally, you can enter additional parameters (see Advanced LTI in the main article on LTI)

Please note! To use LTI, the feature must be enabled in your environment. If you don't see the LTI option in the settings of your learning activity, please contact support to explore the possibilities.
