LinkedIn Learning is a great tool for supplementing your classroom training. Instead of using valuable class time teaching basic skills and software, you can assign easy-to-use online videos. In addition to helping your students succeed, LinkedIn Learning is a powerful resource for you to build new skills and stay up-to-date on current trends.
