    • What is LinkedIn Learning?

      LinkedIn Learning is another learning management system. It provides online training, but unlike the courses in ArkansasIDEAS, the courses in LinkedIn Learning are not reviewed and approved by the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). LinkedIn Learning provides 21,000+ courses taught by real-world professionals, including courses on topics such as software, coding, cyber security, leadership, public speaking, graphic design, and more. As always, professional development credit is awarded solely at the discretion of the local school district.

       

      How do I log in to LinkedIn Learning? 

      Check out the video walkthrough or logging in resource guide. For further help, you can contact the ArkansasIDEAS Help Desk.

         

      Do I need a personal LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Learning? 

      No. You can access LinkedIn Learning using your ArkansasIDEAS account - no LinkedIn account needed.

         

      I have a personal LinkedIn page. Can I use that account to connect to LinkedIn Learning? 

      • Not exactly. LinkedIn and LinkedIn Learning are two different platforms. LinkedIn Learning requires a paid subscription unless you access it through school or work. In this case, ArkansasIDEAS and DESE are providing you with this subscription for free!
      • Note: You can connect your LinkedIn account to your ArkansasIDEAS LinkedIn Learning account after logging in for the first time.

        

      Can I connect my personal LinkedIn account to my LinkedIn Learning account so I can share my learning achievements?

      • Yes. Check out the video walkthrough or the logging in resource guide to connect your account when accessing it from ArkansasIDEAS.
      • If you connect your personal LinkedIn account to your LinkedIn Learning account, you can sign in to LinkedIn Learning by selecting the 'Learning' tab from the top menu bar in LinkedIn:  
      • Keep in mind that this is an optional feature. You are not required to have or create a personal LinkedIn or LinkedIn Learning account to access LinkedIn Learning courses from ArkansasIDEAS. As long as you sign in to LinkedIn Learning from ArkansasIDEAS, you can move forward. If you choose to connect personal accounts and are still having problems, see the LinkedIn help sites below.
