Elevate learning with LinkedIn directly in your Blackboard Ultra course site! LinkedIn Learning is an online educational platform that offers tons of courses and video tutorials covering many topics, including business, tech, creative skills and more. Basically, it's a one-stop shop for expert-led, self-paced content that supports professional and personal development. LinkedIn Learning is available to all Bridgewater State University faculty, staff and students. BSU Faculty may add links to LinkedIn Learning Video Courses or embed these videos right inside their Blackboard Ultra course sites.
To embed LinkedIn Learning Videos in your Blackboard Ultra Course site:
-
First log into Blackboard and open your Ultra course site.
-
Navigate to the course content area where you want to add the LinkedIn Learning course.

The LinkedIn Learning course is now embedded in your Blackboard Ultra course content area. This process for embedding videos automatically creates a new column in the gradebook.
