Add a course from LinkedIn Learning to a path

The workflow for adding a course from LinkedIn Learning to a path is the following:

1. Add a LinkedIn Learning course to the library of a group.
2. Add the LinkedIn Learning course to a path.

Step 1: Add a LinkedIn Learning course to the library of a group

Group admins and authors can add a course synchronized from LinkedIn Learning to the library of their group.

If the course is already shared in the group library, you can skip this step.

1. In the left navigation panel, click on a group.
2. At the top of the group page, click Courses.
3. At the top right, click MORE ACTIONS → Add course(s) to this group.
4. At the top right of the dialog box, click Filter.
5. Under Provider Source, select External courses only.
6. At the bottom right, click APPLY.
7. Under Library, select the courses you wish to add to the library of the group.
8. Click SAVE.

The selected courses are added to the group library.

Authors can now add the external course to their paths.

Step 2: Add the LinkedIn Learning course to a path

Once a course is added to a group library, authors can include them in their paths.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
2. On the right side of the path row, click Edit.
3. In the section Build your training, on the right of Add a step, click Course.
4. At the top right of the dialog box, click Filter.
5. Under Provider Source, select External courses only.
6. Optional: Under External providers, select the external content provider.
7. Click APPLY.
8. Select one or more courses.
9. Click CONFIRM.

The path will make the course available to enrolled learners when they reach the step (linear path) or at enrollment (non-linear path).

Course start behavior

When a learner clicks START on the course homepage in 360Learning:

• They are redirected to the LinkedIn Learning platform, where they can play the course if they have the required permissions. They must use the same email in both platforms.
• If the learner leaves the course without finishing it, they can click RESUME in 360Learning to continue the course in LinkedIn Learning.
• In the learner's homepage in 360Learning, the course (or the path including the course) is moved to the Ongoing section, under My work.
• If the course is part of a path with a linear progression, the learner must complete the course in LinkedIn Learning before starting the next step in 360Learning.
• If the course is the last step to be completed in a path, the learner must finish the course in LinkedIn Learning to successfully complete the path in 360Learning.

Statistics behavior upon course start

A course attempt is created when:

• The learner clicks START on a course from any 360Learning entry point, such as a group catalog or a path session.
• The learner starts the course directly on LinkedIn Learning without attempting in 360Learning, using the same email on both platforms.

Once the course is started, the progress on the open attempt in 360Learning begins at 1% and updates in near real time as we receive updates from LinkedIn Learning.

Course completion behavior

When a learner completes the course in LinkedIn Learning:

• In 360Learning, the course is marked as Completed in 360Learning in near real time. The learner may need to refresh the page after a few minutes to see the updated completion status.
• If the course is not part of a path, the course is moved to the Completed section on the learner's homepage.
• If the course is part of a path with a linear progression, the learner can play the next course after the next statistics synchronization. The learner may need to refresh the page after a few minutes to continue the path.
• If the course is the last step to be completed in a path, the learner may need to refresh the page after a few minutes to successfully complete the path.
• In the learner's homepage, the path is then moved to the Completed section.

Statistics synchronization upon course completion

Course statistics in 360Learning are synchronized from LinkedIn Learning in near real time upon course completion:

• The open attempt is closed.
• Progress is set to 100%.
• Last activity date reflects the completion date.
• Time spent reflects the theoretical course duration (not the actual time the learner spends) and applies only to the oldest attempt still open when the course was marked as completed on LinkedIn Learning.

Those elements are synchronized regardless of whether the course was played from the 360Learning platform, or LinkedIn Learning, as long as the user uses the same email address on both platforms.

Near real-time data synchronization involves a slight delay, typically in seconds or minutes, depending on network latency and processing constraints. Users may need to refresh the page after a few minutes to see the updated statistics.
