1. Introduction

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform, offering a wide variety of courses on various topics. It allows users to learn at their own pace through interactive quizzes, assignments, and online courses, making education flexible and accessible to everyone.

LinkedIn Learning aggregates content from various providers, allowing organizations to deliver training and learning opportunities to their employees through a single platform. The platform is often used in corporate training programs to enhance workforce skills and knowledge.

The integration between LinkedIn Learning and Engagedly simplifies employee learning and development by automatically syncing LinkedIn Learning courses with Engagedly's learning management system. This seamless connection makes it easy for employees to access and complete LinkedIn Learning courses within Engagedly while allowing admins to track and manage learning progress efficiently.
