Creating, Editing and sharing collections

LinkedIn Learning can create collections (playlists) to share with other people within the organisation. A collection is a group of videos or courses that have been collated together. If you would like to add your own content (videos, documents, links) to your collections, then you will need to be given curator access. please contact digitaleducation@lincoln.ac.uk to discuss a curator account.

Tips

• You can change the visibility of your collection at any point.
If you choose to share your collection with all LinkedIn members your collection will be able to be searched. Sharing your collection with All LinkedIn members will give you two sharable links. One for the University of Lincoln and one for learners outside the organisation.
