RE: Lynda.com is upgrading to LinkedIn Learning
UC Santa Barbara Human Resources is excited to announce that our Lynda.com campus subscription is being upgraded to LinkedIn Learning.* Once the upgrade is complete, you will receive an email generated by LinkedIn Learning to activate your existing account. To enable, follow the link provided in the email.
The system-wide upgrade is scheduled for Monday, September 9, 2019, at which time you will no longer be able to access Lynda.com. All of your completed and in-progress learning activity and history will be seamlessly transferred to LinkedIn Learning on your behalf.
When activating your LinkedIn Learning account, you will have the option to connect a LinkedIn profile to your LinkedIn Learning account. If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile, you can easily create one simultaneously. For more information, see benefits of connecting your LinkedIn accounts.
For additional resources, visit this website about the upgrade to LinkedIn Learning. For further upgrade support, please email info@learningcenter.ucsb.edu.
*LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com in 2015. LinkedIn Learning merges the best parts of Lynda.com and LinkedIn and features 100% of Lynda.com’s content.
