LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform that enables individuals and organisations to achieve their objectives and aspirations. The goal is to help people discover and develop the skills they need through a personalised learning experience.Not surprisingly, LinkedIn Learning is part of LinkedIn, an online professional networking system. You may already be a LinkedIn user and have a profile on the system. If you’re not, you can still make use of the QMUL LinkedIn Learning subscription without making use of LinkedIn. If you are a LinkedIn user, you can also choose whether you link your personal LinkedIn account and your QMUL LinkedIn Learning account. It’s up to you.

Here is a brief introductory video to LinkedIn Learning.

Queen Mary provides access to the platform for all students and staff members. Please note that you must have a QMUL IT account. Affiliate access to QMplus does not give access to LinkedIn Learning.

Access to the platform is free for all Queen Mary students and staff members.There is no need to pay over £250 per year for a personal subscription, so a helpful saving.

Go to https://linkedinlearning.qmul.ac.uk/Enter your Queen Mary username, e.g. abc12345@qmul.ac.uk (students) or xyz123@qmul.ac.uk (staff), and password when prompted.

When you first log in to LinkedIn Learning, you will first go to the Queen Mary identity check page, which will ask for your QMUL username and password – i.e. xyz12345@qmul.ac.uk (students) or abc123@qmul.ac.uk (staff).If you experience issues logging in, please check the following:

Linking your accounts brings some benefits, see the next item, but it is up to you whether you wish to do this and you can still make full use of LinkedIn Learning without connecting your accounts.If you do choose to connect your accounts, you can also disconnect them at any time.

If you connect your personal LinkedIn profile to your LinkedIn Learning account, you will get a more personalised and interactive learning experience. Some of the benefits of linking your accounts include:

• Share your learning achievements: Add Certificates of Completion and skills to your LinkedIn profile and share LinkedIn Learning videos with your network.
• Watch courses with your connections and colleagues: See who else is learning with you and build connections.
• Receive customised content recommendations: Get recommendations based on what your connections and similar professionals are viewing, as well as recommendations based on your LinkedIn profile.
• Join learning groups: Deepen your learning by engaging other like-minded learners who have similar career aspirations.
• Ask questions and get answers: Use Q&A to continue the conversation beyond the course with peers and instructors.

Without linking accounts you will still have some personalisation, in particular you will see recommended content based on:

• Your job title.
• Your skills. You can define the skills you are interested in
• Your organisation. People at QMUL may recommend content for particular audiences
