Linkedin Learning Review 101

Reviewed 8 months ago

Very good and helped me learn a lot of additional skills

Pros

I've been using LinkedIn Learning since the pandemic and it's been a great tool to learn additional skills in my field. Very easy to use and to get going on the platform.

Cons

Some of the courses are very similar and don't get to the point. And very expensive to have access, $79 CAD a month is too much.

LinkedIn Learning mostly delivered on promise

Reviewed 2 years ago

We don’t use LinkedIn Learning as a LMS. Instead, we have an existing LMS and use LinkedIn Learning specifically for content. It’s weird but it works really well, and we couldn’t be happier with our current set-up.

Pros

The sheer quality and quantity of courses is astounding. Also, the breadth of topics is impressive, and continues to grow. LinkedIn Learning really is the premier place for professional microlearnings.

Cons

The courses all have the same feel, no matter how distinct the subject matter. Specifically, the way the speakers behave and background all feel too similar. I’m sure it’s on purpose, but I think a little more visual variety would be a good thing.

It can be useful for some aspects but it feels like its missing quite a lot too

Reviewed 10 months ago

It is ok for the price of subscription and from time to time it is worth to check as some of the training is really good quality but it does feel like it is missing a lots of good training.

Pros

The videos and the way they are organised is easy to digest (short sections). It is good to have the test of knowledge at the end of the chapter. There are some interesting subjects and useful learning.

Cons

Mostly focused on the US, for example with HR training some things do not apply. It feels like it is missing some key training like how to recruit, use metrics, KPI, different job boards or even Linkedin. It can be my poor way of searching but I used different key words and checked some that came up and there were just mostly 1-5 minutes parts in some other training that briefly mentioned the subject I was looking for about the recruitment, KPI's in recruitment etc.

A learning platform focused on.... learning!

Reviewed 10 months ago

Overall it is my main source of learning. I couldn't think my career life without this platform at the moment.

Pros

Linkedin Learning is all about learning: no useless functionalities, all your classes and interesting courses at a glance. Nothing fancy but a lot of available contents, usually high quality.

Cons

Sometimes video streaming doesn't work smoothly as expected. Price can be challenging for small businesses. Unexperienced users could stumble upon courses which could be a bit old (I am talking about software development courses, where a course made in 2019 can already be considered old...)

My Review of LinkedIn Learning

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with LinkedIn Learning is very good and I enjoy using it.

Pros

I like that I can access LinkedIn Learning with my university email without any need to pay a subscription. I like the instructors and the quality of the videos. Also, there are subtitles in different languages for the majority of courses offered on LinkedIn Learning.

Cons

There are no quizzes or exams to test my knowledge after finishing a lesson. Also, there is no discussion forum where I can exchange knowledge and ask questions there. I can't skip some lessons if I want which is a time-wasting in case I already know this info.

Es ist die beste Plattform, um einen Kurs zu absolvieren und eine Zertifizierung zu erhalten.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Es ist gut zu nutzen und zu lernen, wenn wir einen Preisnachlass erhalten oder wenn wir den Portalzugang von unserer Universität oder unseren Unternehmen erhalten. Es wäre besser, wenn sie den Preis für Studenten und Berufseinsteiger etwas senken würden.

Pros

Wir wählen alle Arten von Kursen auf LinkedIn Learning und erhalten das beste Zertifikat online, die Ihnen helfen, den Job in den Arbeitsmarkt zu bekommen. es gibt einen Monat kostenlose Mitgliedschaft in der mittleren Zeit können wir in der LinkedIn-Lernplattform zu erkunden.wir sind in der Lage, Kurse auf die mobile App für die Offline-Anzeige machen es super bequem, wenn wir unterwegs sind.die Kurse sind in mehreren Sprachen einschließlich der Sprachauswahl für die gesamte Website angeboten.

Cons

LinkedIn Learning konzentriert sich auf Business-, Kreativ- und Technologiethemen, was bedeuten kann, dass wir das Thema, das wir suchen, nicht finden können, so dass wir uns in diesem Fall für andere Lernplattformen wie udemy coursera entscheiden müssen. Wir erhalten ein Abschlusszertifikat, aber es ist ein akkreditiertes Zertifikat von einer Universität oder einem Partner, so dass sie es für nicht nützlich halten.

J.L. LinkedIn Learning Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

LinkedIn Learning is a very great learning institute that offers certification that I can use as part of my skill qualifications and it can be linked back to my LinkedIn profile to increase my employment opportunities. Whether online or offline, the content presented can be watched to the quality of my liking. For example, playing a course's videos as a miniplayer while doing other work.

Pros

LinkedIn Learning uses the data gathered from my LinkedIn profile to recommend great courses for me to do. For example, since I listed Chemistry as a subject I completed at the CSEC level, LinkedIn Learning's home page recommended 20 courses for me to try out under the header "Top picks for me". Alongisde this, I was able to watch a preview of a course's content before purchasing it. This ensured that my money was paid for a good course.

Cons

In my personal opinion, the graphical layout of LinkedIn Learning would've been better if the profile icon were to the right of the search icon on the "Home", "Topics" or "My Learning" pages. Instead, I have to click on my profile icon after heading to the "My Learning" page.

Upscaling Our Professional Development

Reviewed 2 years ago

We are now able to use one system to support all employee development needs except those requiring medical-related skills training. Our support reps have been actively engaged, scheduling regular meetings, creating usage reports, and providing engagement resources.Our training team is able to refer leaders to LIL to utilize resources that support their specific developmental needs within their teams - both soft and hard skills. We average about 44% engagement rate, which we’ve been told is typical for our organization size.

Pros

LinkedIn Learning offers something for everyone in our organization. That was ultimately why we chose it over other platforms. We also love the short learning clips which make it extremely user-friendly!

Cons

While the search features are great, sometimes there are still a lot of options to wade through to find exactly what you need. Employees also have clear preferences for more engaging instructors. Many instructors focus on philosophical presentations rather than practical applications. Practical engagement is a clear win for our employees.

One of LinkedIn's best functionality for self-development

Reviewed 2 years ago

- LinkedIn Learning is a wonderful platform for learning and self development. If you have the opportunity to have a premium subscription in LinkedIn, then should take advantage of this learning platform. This is a best way to boost your LinkedIn profile and skillsets as well!

Pros

- LinkedIn Learning has so many online courses and topic to offer. You can watch all of them if you are subscribed to LinkedIn Premium, and some are accessible also even if you are using the free version of LinkedIn.- Learning module is accessible via website and it also has an independent app in Play Store or App Store.- Courses can be watched on the go, and you can even see your progress- After finishing a course, you can have a certificate which you can show in your profile

Cons

- The only problem I dislike about LinkedIn Learning is that, if you finish a course, and suddenly you are not having a premium subscription, that finished course is already inaccessible even if you have finished it before

Best learning platform

Reviewed a year ago

The overall experience with using LinkedIn Learning is best. I have the facility to add all the completed courses to my LinkedIn account at ones and make it known to all my potential employers know what I have completed and what I know. One other I like is that LinkedIn learning has almost all the courses that we ever want to succeed in a specific role in an industry. So we have one single platform for everything.

Pros

The most feature that I liked is the option to find all types of courses that relevant to specific industry and having a learning path pre set with all the courses for those who wants to study relevant to an industry specific role. I use the learning path and it has all the courses in it (like a playlist) to learn and practice for the specific designation selected to pursue.

Cons

Based on my current experience with LinkedIn learning I have had only good experience and I don’t see anything that’s seems to be least factor. Although, I could say on some courses they have a video showing questions/challenge and then one other set of video as answers, the only issue here is that we have to play all the videos to complete the module and we cannot skip nor fast forward to complete the module. Beside that it’s all well laid out courses and the platform for professional career growth.

LinkedIn learning – the professional space to improve your skills

Reviewed a year ago

The platform is also interactive allowing you to leave comments and read the thoughts of others, this helps you come up with ideas and share your experience. As someone who focuses on developing my skills I find it useful for professional development. Although it is a subscription-based service, what really stands out is LinkedIn Learning's commitment to education: they offer free access to their content.

Pros

I have been using LinkedIn Learning as well as other platforms to take courses and I can say that it is excellent for anyone in the business sector. The platform offers a wide variety of video courses that get straight to the point, making it easy to quickly search and learn on specific topics, from Excel, to Copywriting, to Artificial Intelligence. The courses themslves are well designed, easy to follow, and shareable. What I like the most is that the modules are short, which avoids the fatigue of takin long courses that don't go to the point.

Cons

The price of the monthly subscription is somewhat expensive, and some of their courses need an update since the world of technology changes quickly and they could soon become obsolete, another negative point is that their videos require a good internet connection, otherwise they take a long time to load and this is sometimes tedious.

One of the best online learning platforms for professionals

Reviewed a year ago

I enjoy using several of these online learning platforms including Skillshare, Lynda, and Udemy, but have always been disappointed with their free features. LinkedIn Learning offers a wide variety of options at no cost to the user. This makes this platform stand apart from the rest of the pack.

Pros

I like the wide variety of topics covered in the videos, and the sheer quantity of content is staggering. The free version of the app also offers a plethora of features, and anybody can learn many different skills using this platform.

Cons

My least favorite thing about the app is the lack of interactive features associated with each video. The content is predominantly just videos, and lacks the fully immersive classroom features that comes with platforms like skillshare.
