LinkedIn Learning

You used to be able to stream to chromecast from the app. Now it’s not available anymore, so you’re stuck with watching it on your phone.

I have to rewatch this courses several times before the completion would be finally registered. What a disappointment.

Opened the app today (May 17th 2022) and I’m forced to upgrade but my iPad is too old for this new version. Why can’t I choose to use the older version? Now I can only use it at home and download option is useless for me.

Overall it works as expected but I never understood why the end-of-chapter quizzes that you get on the web version don’t work in the app.
Also sometimes it fails to sync with the web.

Lynda.com had a great Apple TV application this isn’t the case for LinkedIn learning. This is a great disappointment for me specially because my transition was more or less forced upon me (Lynda is going to be shutdown in may).

Ik gebruik Lynda.com al jaren naar tevredenheid. Dit is, wat mij betreft een achteruitgang. De video kwaliteit op mijn iPad is bedroevend. Lage en hoge resolutie wisselen steeds. Erg irritant. Nog nooit gehad bij de Lynda app. Nog 3 maanden tot mijn volgende verlenging. Kijken of het verbetert en zo niet, opzeggen. Jammer hoor.

While I do much enjoy using LinkedIn Learning, this iPad app often presents me very bad video quality - while when then doing the same course via a ‘normal’ browser looks perfectly fine.

You can learn whenever and wherever you want. With high quality courses and bite size learning modules. App works good on tracking your progress and continuing where you left off. Feature i like is the audio keeps going when working outside the app. So you keep listening whilst doing other small tasks.

Weer een systeem dat werkt met een abonnement, ook voor kennis die je overal gratis haalt

Goede, professionele online cursussen, hebben echt inhoud (heb dat wel eens anders ervaren bij concurrentie), kost wel wat.

Na het inloggen van mijn bedrijfsportaal kom je zonder melding gewoon weer terug in het inlogscherm.... Zo kom je niet echt verder....

Our company has provided us with LinkedIn Learning and I enjoy it a lot; it’s really nice to learn things that are outside the scope of the regular day job. Courses are also quite up-to-date.

So bad that they haven’t developped a TV app yet. While they took over the company named Lynda.com a while ago which had a TV app. Now I’m forced to switch to Linkedin without the TV app or quit my subscription.

This is not an improvement to the Lynda app at all, is my opinion. When not in full screen mode, the video takes too much room in the GUI. As a result, navigating episodes of a course is cumbersome.
I sincerely hope that LinkedIn takes action to improve this app.

A wider range of questions for each course. A more advanced video player. More clear way of the integration into your profile.
Better overview of videos, courses with actual certificates.
More Interactive courses. And so on.
I could continue for ages. Send me a private message and I can help creating the most advanced and wanted learning platform in this space.

The cross channel learning experience is great. Adding CarPlay audio would make it perfect.

Much less functionality then Lynda app. If users are forced to move from lynda to LinkedIn Learning the experience should not deteriorate.

Although this app is well taken care of it still has some major problems. Most apps and specially apps showing video content have for mobile phones device orientation ‘Upside Down’ disabled, which is a best practice too. More and more people are using their phone to be able to learn everywhere. One of the places is the bed. Having a neck problem watching a video laying on your side with your head on a pillow is a great way to learn. But when the video player is not able to stay in full screen mode when laying with one ear on a pillow it’s impossible.
Another big failure is the difficult control handling of the video player. When learning you want to be able to easily go forward and backward in a video. But using the scrub button to fasten forward on a iPhone XR max will take you annoyingly easy to another app instead of going to the part you want to have explained again. 10 sec forward and backward as YouTube has by tapping twice should also be minimum requirement for this kind of app.
