If you’re a LinkedIn Learning admin, you can create a learning experience that is unique to your organization by complementing LinkedIn Learning courses with your own custom content. LinkedIn Learning allows admins to add customized content on the Learning platform in the following ways:
-
Uploading proprietary/custom learning videos and documents from the organization onto Learning.
By utilizing custom content in addition to content present on the Learning platform, admins can easily create compelling multi-format, multi-source learning paths for their learners within an easy-to-use platform. Likewise, learners can easily explore all on-demand custom from their organization learning content through the Learning search platform.
Please check out some of our most frequently- asked questions about custom content.
Link to public resources
Here's a tip
LinkedIn Learning customers may add an unlimited number of links.
Providing public links allows admins to search for Learning content outside of the proprietary courses LinkedIn Learning has to offer. Admins can add links to sources other than videos, including public content hosted on other websites in the form of PowerPoints, PDFs, articles, and others. This helps provides a multi-format, multi-source learning opportunity for your learners. Admins can track the clicks on the added content using the learner reports.
Upload custom content
As a LinkedIn Learning admin, you may upload customized content on Learning. You can also add custom tags to the content, making content easy to discover for learners. Video and document uploads allow members to remain in the Learning product, which enables a consistent viewing and learning experience. Uploading customized videos and documents also allows you to check progression and completion of custom content through the Learning reports.

We check the progress of custom document uploads by tracking how many pages of a document a learner has viewed and converting that into a percentage. For example, if a document has 10 slides or is 10 pages long and a learner has viewed two of the documents, LinkedIn Learning reports that as 20% complete.
For linked videos, the experience is linked out to a URL and when learners confirm the completion of the video, it is marked as complete. The progress of uploaded videos is tracked via learning hours based on the video duration.
An uploaded custom document will usually be marked complete if the learner has viewed all the pages/slides in that document.
