Recommend or assign content to learners and groups in Learning

Last updated: 8 months ago

LinkedIn Learning makes it easy to guide your team’s development by recommending or assigning training content directly to individuals or groups. This helps learners access relevant resources tailored to their goals.

Why this matters to you:

  • Support growth: Help your team discover courses, learning paths, or collections that match their development needs.
  • Set expectations: Assign content with a due date to clarify timelines and encourage completion.
  • Personalize learning: Add a note to explain why the content matters or how it connects to their role.

Ways to share content:

You can share learning materials in two ways:

  • Admin Learning Management interface
    • Admins can recommend or assign content to anyone in the organization.
    • Includes options to add a personal note and set a due date.
  • Standard LinkedIn Learning platform
    • Any user (admin or learner) can share content directly from a course page using the Share feature.
    • Also allows adding a note and setting a due date when assigning.

What learners see:

  • Shared content appears in the From Your Organization section of their LinkedIn Learning account.
  • Learners may also receive an email notification alerting them to new content.


Important to know

Administrative features are only available on your desktop device; the LinkedIn Learning mobile app does not support admin functionality.


You can share learning paths only via their dedicated pages on the platform (by clicking the Share icon on the learning path page). Review the articles in the Related tasks section for step-by-step guidance on each method of recommending content.
