Learners develop their skills and knowledge through different styles and methods. LinkedIn Learning offers multimedia content to help learners upskill with the most recent and relevant content.
We seek to enhance the learner experience by offering value via increased learner engagement with multimedia content formats. These formats allow you to move at the speed of business by providing you the most current, trustworthy, and relevant content.
If you are a Learning admin, please review the following frequently-asked questions for more details about the Learning multimedia feature.
LinkedIn Learning courses integrate text and images (labeled “text” in the course table of contents) to enhance the learning experience. When a learner views a course that has video and text/images, they will see this in the table of contents, where it shows whether that section of the course is a video or a text section (which may include images as well).
LinkedIn Learning provides different content formats (e.g., Nano Learning, Code Challenges powered by CoderPad, GitHub Codespaces) to serve a more diverse range of learning needs and preferences. These formats enable us to produce content faster and develop more effective courses, adding measurable value to our customers' learning journeys.
In the same way instructors create videos, they also create text and images.
Multimedia content is an integrated part of the course and part of the table of contents, as opposed to an optional exercise in a file.
At this time, the multimedia feature is being launched only for English courses with a plan to explore adding courses in other languages. However, the feature itself is available in all regions, e.g., an English course with this feature will show in all regions. When the feature launches, it will not translate text, and it will be available only in English.

Yes. Multimedia content appears as part of a completed course in reporting. In other words, these content sections are required for completion, and, therefore, reporting will show course completion. Admins, however, cannot view if a particular section that is text only was viewed/completed.
Multimedia is marked either as complete (100%) or incomplete (0%, or empty). They do not appear in total time watched. A learner completes a text section by opening the item.
The behavior is the same as video updates to courses. Completed courses remain completed. In-progress courses will need new multimedia content sections to be completed before the learner is eligible for a certificate.
The multimedia feature works as usual within LMSs.
Yes. However, any mobile versions below 1.5.53 (on Android) and v1.701 (on iOS) will not support the multimedia feature.
You can use customized learning paths or collections to add your own multimedia content. However, you cannot directly add custom multimedia content to a course.
