Question:
- How do I add LinkedIn Learning courses or specific videos to supplement my D2L Brightspace course materials?
Answer:
Within the Content tool of your D2L Brightspace course, within the module wherein you wish to deploy the LinkedIn Learning Course/Video, select the Existing Activities dropdown menu and from the menu select LinkedIn Learning:
Upon selecting the link, a popup window will appear that will allow you to search for either video or course. Place your search criteria in the search for content field and either hit your return/enter key or select the search button which has the magnifying glass icon. In the example below I will use Dr. Michael Allen’s “Design the Learner’s Journey” course as my example.
Then, in the same window, you will have to scroll down past other filters to see the results of your search.
Adding a LinkedIn Learning Course
From here, you can simply link to the course by selecting the Add button to the right of the course and then select Confirm.
A link then will appear in the content module you had started from:
(You may note that if the course has a description created in LinkedIn Learning, that description will come in as a topic description within D2L Brightspace.)
Adding Specific Videos
If you want to link to a specific video within a LinkedIn Learning course, there is an accordion button below the course graphic, that says Course Contents, if you expand the accordion the course modules are available to you as accordion buttons and within those accordions you can select a specific video:
You can select more than one video at a time. Simply select all the videos by selecting Add. When you are done, select the confirm button.
The links to your selected videos will now appear as content topics within your Content tool. (You may note that if the video has a description created in LinkedIn Learning, that description will come into D2L.)
