The LMS integration with LinkedIn Learning Career Hub brings assignment, progress, and content data (e.g., courses, instructor-led training, compliance content, SCORM, etc.) into your Career Hub and provides learners with an intuitive platform to discover all learning content, including LMS content.
Check out the below frequently-asked questions to learn more about LMS integrations with Career Hub.
The integration is a manual CSV/SFTP process that requires an initial, one-time setup in partnership between your Learning and Development (L&D) team, HRIT team, and LinkedIn’s Technical Consulting Team.
The relevant data is extracted from the LMS, mapped and transformed into the LinkedIn data schema, securely transferred via SFTP, then surfaced in LinkedIn Learning Hub.
Learning Hub provides a Link out experience, where learners will discover LMS content on Learning Hub and link out to consume that content on the LMS.
Content, Assignment, and Progress data is available from your LMS to ensure basic functionality. LinkedIn’s Implementation team will provide a detailed data schema when the integration begins.
You can track LMS verified completions in their Learning Experience Platform and a get a unified view of organization's data. With this reporting functionality added to Learning Hub admin reports, admins can leverage these reports to track mandatory compliance training completions and key skills learned across that content for monthly or quarterly reviews.
Major LMS providers including SAP SuccessFactors and Cornerstone OnDemand do not offer APIs that reliably export the kind of information that Learning Hub requires to surface relevant learning resources to learners. Existing LMS APIs are focused on importing data, which doesn’t help to get LMS data into LinkedIn Learning Hub.
No. Learning Hub is designed to complement your LMS. Learning Hub acts as a layer over the LMS, and provides a single, easy-to-use platform for learners to discover all relevant content, including LMS-hosted content. You can continue to assign content to learners in your LMS and leverage your LMS for reporting and as a system of record for mandatory and compliance training.
At launch, we’ll be fully supporting Cornerstone OnDemand, SABA, and SAP SuccessFactors and will be in beta (testing) version for other LMS providers. If you have an LMS that’s not one of the three supported at launch, the implementation team will discuss the custom integration timeline and requirements.
All content can be ingested and surfaced on the Learning Hub, including articles, courses, videos, paths, collections, audio, doc/books, events/instructor-led training, compliance training, and interactive (SCORM) content.
This content will be visible as a link, and when a learner clicks the link, it’ll take the learner to the LMS provider to view the content. As part of the integration setup, the customer will send LinkedIn the content link/URL (along with additional metadata) to be ingested and surfaced in Learning Hub.
No, the integration is only one way, so content, assignment, and progress data are extracted from the LMS and ingested and surfaced in LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn doesn’t send data back to the LMS as part of this integration.
The LMS reporting outbound integration (Reporting API) takes reporting data from LinkedIn Learning and displays it in the customer’s LMS. The new LinkedIn Learning Hub-LMS integration does the reverse (inbound to LinkedIn Learning integration), taking data from the LMS and integrating it into LinkedIn Learning Hub, enabling learners to discover LMS content in the Learning Hub.
Here's a tip
To integrate your LMS with LinkedIn Learning Hub, you can reach out to your CSM and schedule a kickoff call with the Implementation team.
