LinkedIn Learning and Schoox Deep Integration Guide

Schoox Deep Integration Functionality

Authentication: SSO
Content Discovery: Automatic Content Sync (All languages)
Reporting: AICC

Requirements:
The LinkedIn Learning and Schoox integration involves the following requirements:

  • An active Schoox LMS instance
  • An active LinkedIn Learning account
  • Admin access to LinkedIn Learning
  • Admin privileges to your Schoox LMS instance

Overview

Authentication

LinkedIn Learning supports SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprise integrations. Most organizations already use a centralized identity provider like Azure AD, Okta or ADFS to manage user authentication across business applications.

By enabling SSO, learners can seamlessly access LinkedIn Learning using their existing organizational credentials, eliminating the need to remember additional usernames or passwords and allowing them to focus on learning.

Automated Content Catalog Sync

The LinkedIn Learning library contains thousands of courses. LinkedIn Learning adds courses at a rate of 20-30 per week at no extra cost.

The Schoox deep integration with LinkedIn Learning uses LinkedIn Learning APIs to refresh the content library daily. This feature ensures LinkedIn Learning makes new content available within 24 hours of release.

Reporting

LinkedIn Learning captures all content viewed on its platform in robust usage reports accessible from the LinkedIn Learning administrative interface. In addition to generating reports, LinkedIn Learning uses AICC to communicate a learner’s progress back to Schoox when the learner launches content from the LMS.

SSO Configuration

Enabling SAML SSO

  • LinkedIn Learning recommends SAML SSO for all enterprise learning platform integrations. SSO authentication is configured in the LinkedIn Learning Admin settings, where integration with an organization’s identity provider (such as Azure AD, Okta, or ADFS) enables secure user authentication.
