Summary:
LinkedIn Learning launches new skill evaluations
Why It Matters:
The platform is moving from just hosting videos to actively testing and certifying user skills. This helps them prove to employers that their learners actually know the material.
What Changed:
- Added "Skill Evaluations" to help users find the right level of training.
- Introduced "Role Guides" for over 35 specific job titles.
- Added "Nano Tips" which are short, 450+ quick-action videos.
- Launched "Professional Certificates" from partners like Microsoft and Zendesk.
- Integrated hands-on practice tools including GitHub Codespaces and 300k quiz questions.
- Updated the homepage to focus entirely on the Learning product instead of general networking.
