Create and Access Your LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) Account

Navigation

LWTech students and employees have access to thousands of training videos through our LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) subscription. You can create a LinkedIn Learning account using your LWTech email login credentials. LinkedIn Learning delivers the right content at the right time, shortening the path from learning to succeeding. You can access more than 1,800 new courses per year, with insight-based recommendations, an intuitive interface, and custom content curated just for you. The content is personalized specifically to your skills in your profile, topics of interest, popular courses within your network and your current role. You can even connect your LinkedIn Learning profile to your LinkedIn profile! 

For students, some faculty use it to place supplemental materials into their Canvas course modules. Topics are vast ranging from technology, business, leadership, communication…and much more!

Note: if you previously had a Lynda.com account via LWTech, your information will be transferred! Your playlists will now show up under Collections and anything you had in progress, will show up under In Progress.
