Therefore, the content creators are verified experts, and LinkedIn only offers content designed to meet its high in-house standards.

What is the difference between a learning path and a collection? 
Learning paths are compiled playlists of related video courses on a specific topic or career track. They include multiple courses by different expert instructors to teach a variety of skills and information associated with that subject or profession. They indicate a specific sequence of courses and videos.  Collections are also groups of courses and videos related to a specific topic, but they do not have a particular order and do not need to be watched in sequence.

What should I do if I already have a LinkedIn Learning account? 
Having a private account with LinkedIn Learning does not affect your CSI account.

What data does CSI report on my learning activity? 
CSI reports on aggregate user learning activity. This helps us target communications and build programs that meet user needs.

What about data and privacy? Who can see what I am viewing/completing?
CSI reports on aggregate user learning activity, including the content users view and complete. These reports will only be available to assigned administrators.

What are weekly goals on LinkedIn Learning?
LinkedIn Learning allows you to set weekly learning goals.
