Online Learning Update

Those watching LinkedIn’s evolution now have a little bit more grist for the mill. LinkedIn Learning, which is what Lynda.com has morphed into, on Nov. 9 announced a series of developments that show the company to be gradually expanding its footprint in the education and training space. Over the last 18 months, LinkedIn Learning, to which many companies, government agencies and colleges subscribe to provide technical and other skills to their workers and students, has been letting those clients add their own content (say, an internal training video or short course a company has created) to the LinkedIn platform so their workers or students can view it alongside the LinkedIn content (which numbers roughly 13,000 courses now).
