Groups and Assignments

Groups can be created and used to assign courses and track the progress of specific individuals. This might be useful to managers and directors that want to help build the skills of their staff. Perhaps a faculty member would like to assign LinkedIn Learning videos or courses to their students as part of their coursework for the semester; groups make this possible. Groups are maintained by the individual that requests the group. To request a group, please contact the Service Desk.
