What is LinkedIn Learning?
LinkedIn Learning provides access to more than 16,000 high-quality educational courses, with new videos being added every week. WSU Tech provides students, faculty, and staff with free access to LinkedIn Learning for free! LinkedIn Learning integrates with Blackboard, which makes it a breeze to add to your courses and it even syncs with your grade center so that students may receive points for the videos they watch.
