In Valamis, you can use either a non-SSO (Single Sign-On) or create a SSO method
between LinkedIn Learning and an external identification provider (IdP), such as Azure, ADFS, Okta, Google, and so on. Please feel free to review your LinkedIn Learning SSO options.
SSO ensures learners spend more of their time watching content and less of their time trying to remember usernames and passwords.
Automated Content Catalog Sync
The LinkedIn Learning library contains thousands of courses. Courses are added
at a rate of 25-30 courses per week at no extra cost. Traditionally, the
administrator of a content discovery platform manually uploads new content on a
regular interval. However, the Valamis deep integration uses LinkedIn Learning
APIs to dynamically refresh the content library daily. This ensures new LinkedIn
Learning content is available within 24 hours of its release.
All content titles and descriptions are aggregated and indexed to accommodate keyword searches and support efficient discoverability. Valamis supports automatic syncing of All languages content libraries.
