What is LinkedIn Learning?

LinkedIn Learning offers a wide range of online courses focused on in-demand employee skills. These courses can be integrated into your online academy, allowing your employees to access and follow them directly through the 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?

Note!

To use LTI, the functionality must be enabled in your environment. Don’t see the LTI option in your learning activity settings? Then contact support to explore the available options.

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

The integration between LinkedIn Learning and your online academy is handled via LTI 1.3. LTI takes care of the entire integration, including user creation, user enrolment, and Single sign-on.

To use LTI 1.3, the integration must first be created under “Integrations”. Follow the steps below to do so.

  1. Go to “Integrations” via the menu on the left side of the screen.

  2. Under “Training provider”, select LTI 1.3.

  3. Click “Add content provider”.

  4. Enter the details from the other system:

    • Name: you may choose this yourself

    • OIDC URL (also known as authentication URL)

    • JWKS URL

    • Optional: Redirect URIs

  5. Set the integration to “Activated” and save.

  6. Under “Details for the other party”, you will find the information needed to configure the LTI integration on 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:

  1. Go to “Content” via the menu on the left side of the screen.

  2. Click “Add” in the top right corner.

  3. Select the learning activity “E-learning” and then choose “LTI”.

  4. Fill in the details of the learning activity, such as title, study time, and description.

  5. In the settings, under LTI, select LTI 1.3.

    • Choose the “Tool” you created in the previous steps.

    • Enter the Resource URL.

    • Optionally, you can enter additional parameters (see “LTI for advanced users” in the general article about LTI).
