Creating Your Account
All current students, faculty and staff at Connecticut College receive unlimited access. Visit LinkedIn Learning by logging in through https://lnkd.in/dTnJczew. When activating your Connecticut College license, you will be asked if you want to link your account with an existing LinkedIn account. Linking your accounts is not required. Benefits of linking them include sharing Certificates of Completion to your LinkedIn profile, personalized recommendations based your profile and professional goals, and sharing courses with your network.

Using LinkedIn Learning
After creating your account, you may watch an entire course, or individual videos – some are as short as four or five minutes. You will be able to bookmark courses that suit your interests, keep track of the courses you have taken, and when you complete a course, you’ll receive a certificate of completion which you can share with your network.
