Learning on the Go
LinkedIn Learning is an educational app that offers a wide range of online courses that you can view whenever, wherever. A new initiative from the popular business and employment site LinkedIn, this app helps you advance your career by providing bite-sized video courses taught by various industry experts.
Thousands of Courses from the Industry’s Finest
LinkedIn Learning helps users discover the most in-demand skills in business, technology, and creative industry. It provides access to more than 4, 000 courses, with more added each month, all of which taught by industry experts. Whether you are looking to enhance your leadership skills or wanting to learn how to build a mobile app or how to use particular software, you can find it in this app.
Also included in this app’s list of available courses are marketing, management training, photography, and graphic design. You can also watch web and interactive design tutorials, 3D animation, and programming. LinkedIn Learning also offers personalized recommendations which take into account your chosen field.
But what makes LinkedIn Learning better than other e-learning applications is its learning paths. This feature is a helpful tool for users who are looking to transition in another field. With this, you don’t have to look for random videos and classes in any given field. You can simply pick your path, and the app will give you a structured learning experience. Users must understand though that the courses on the learning path will only give you the essential knowledge you need to start a new career. It will not in any way make you an instant expert.
Learn New Skills the Easy Way
LinkedIn Learning offer curated courses for a guided learning experience. There is a lot of courses that you can get into, all of which are sorted into three categories for easier searching. Additionally, the app also recommends videos that are most popular to other users. And, if you already have an idea on what you want to learn, you just key in the topic in the search bar, and the app will give you a list of different courses on the topic.
Aside from video instructions, each course also comes with a text overview and content list. These transcriptions are a major plus as it makes taking notes more convenient. With this, you won’t need to rewind the video or play it again when you missed something. The transcripts are found beneath every video.
Speaking of video, LinkedIn Learning offers the option to view videos at more than 1x speed, perfect for those who use podcast-listening apps. You can also save courses to watch them at a later time or download them to your device for offline viewing. A quick warning though, downloading the video courses may take up a lot of your storage.
