Thursday 19 September 2019 marks the first Anniversary of the release of LinkedIn Learning at the University.
This service continues to grow from strength-to-strength with staff and student continuing to use it daily.
For our staff, it is an invaluable tool which encourages you to take a few minutes out of your day or week to learn something new, or perhaps you might want to use it to augment your course teaching?
For our students, we can see that you are using it to both complement and reinforce what you’re being taught as part of your course or using it as supplemental learning. Life, wellbeing and employability skills playing a key part.
Please remember you can access LinkedIn Learning from anywhere, anytime on any device, so it makes it easy to split your learning into convenient bite-size chunks.
To date, 14% of the University population have engaged with, and continue to do so, and it is our aim that this will grow until it is seen as an integral part of University life, whether you are a member of staff or a student and whatever your learning aims and motivations are.
If you haven’t heard of or delved into LinkedIn Learning yet, we promise you will not be disappointed. There are some 13,000+ courses and videos spanning technology, business and creative libraries, incorporating material from data science to interpersonal skills, from computer programming to well-being courses and life skills and much more.
But don’t take our word for it, dive in and explore this learning environment for yourself, you’ll never look back! Visit LinkedIn Learning today – available from myHWU.
If you have any questions about LinkedIn Learning please contact our IS Helpdesk.
We wish you all continued prosperity in your journey of learning.
