We have some exciting news for you! If you are a Lynda.com account holder, it will be upgraded to LinkedIn Learning on Monday, October 28, 2019. With this upgrade, you’ll be able to access more courses than ever before and stay current with LinkedIn’s constantly evolving learning network.
Here are some things to know ahead of the upgrade:
- Between October 25 - 29, you’ll receive multiple emails from LinkedIn regarding your LinkedIn Learning access. Please follow the instructions in the emails to continue accessing your courses. (Haven’t received any emails by these dates? Make sure to check your spam folder.)
- Lynda.com courses will be unavailable while this upgrade is in progress on October 28.
- On October 29, after your account has been upgraded, you’ll be given the option to link your personal LinkedIn account.
Linking your personal LinkedIn account is optional, but there are some advantages and considerations:
- You’ll have the choice to share completed courses and showcase newly gained knowledge on your personal LinkedIn page. You’ll also be able to access comments, questions, and answers that other LinkedIn users post within specific courses while you’re taking the course.
- In addition to logging in with your PennKey, you’ll need to log in with your personal LinkedIn account each time you access a LinkedIn Learning course.
- The University of Pennsylvania will not have access to any of your personal information, and nothing will be posted to your personal LinkedIn account without your permission. For more details, please see LinkedIn Learning’s Privacy Information.
- If you decide not to link your personal LinkedIn account at this time, you can always go back and add it later. If you do link your account, you can unlink it at any time.
