The top bar of the LinkedIn Learning homepage contains all of their search features.
The first option from the left is the Browse drop-down menu. This menu is divided into the three fields covered by LinkedIn Learning: business, creative, and technology. Each of these fields is divided into courses for related subjects, software, and learning paths.
If you know what subjects, software, or skills you're interested in learning, you can use the search bar to find specific content. Your results can be filtered by skill level, software, and subject. This is a great way to find courses on skills that can help you in your college and professional careers.
You can keep track of your content with the account controls on the far right of the top menu. All courses that you have begun can be found under "In Progress" until they are completed. With your LinkedIn Learning account you have the option to save content that you're interested in and organize them in collections. You can also connect your LinkedIn account to LinkedIn Learning to feature your completion certificates on your professional profile.
LinkedIn Learning, formerly Lynda.com, has over 10,000 courses in its library taught by hundreds of industry leaders and top instructors.
