The LinkedIn Learning and WorkRamp integration involves the following requirements:
An active WorkRamp LMS instance
An active LinkedIn Learning account
Admin access to LinkedIn Learning
Admin privileges to your WorkRamp LMS instance
Integration Overview
Single Sign-On (SSO)
During the initial configuration, you can configure LinkedIn Learning and WorkRamp to establish a secure SAML single sign-on (SSO) connection to ensure seamless access to content. SSO authentication reduces friction for users and administrators by eliminating the need for manual user registration. SSO ensures learners spend more of their time watching content and less of their time trying to remember usernames and passwords

need for manual user registration. 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 over 20,000 courses, with 20-30 courses
added per week at no extra cost. WorkRamp automates this process using the
LinkedIn Learning content APIs, so LMS admins do not have to manually upload new
content packages at regular intervals. After the initial setup, WorkRamp will
dynamically refresh the content library on an automated basis. This ensures
new LinkedIn Learning content is available to learners within 24 hours of
release. All content titles and descriptions are aggregated and indexed to
accommodate keyword searches and support efficient discoverability. WorkRamp supports automatic syncing of All languages content libraries.
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 xAPI to communicate a
learner’s activity back to WorkRamp when the learner completes a LinkedIn Learning course. All LinkedIn Learning course completions will be reported both in LinkedIn Learning and in WorkRamp.
Configuration – Enabling SAML SSO
We recommend SAML SSO for all enterprise learning platform integrations. You can
configure SSO authentication in your LinkedIn Learning Admin settings. Most
organizations have a centrally-managed identity management solution like Azure
AD, Okta, or ADFS, which can be configured to authenticate users into enterprise
applications like LinkedIn Learning.
For WorkRamp to sync LinkedIn Learning catalog metadata, you first must provision API keys in the LinkedIn Learning admin settings.
After you log in, if you are not already in the Admin screen, select Go to Admin, then click Me > Integrate.
From the side navigation menu, select Access content and reports via API.
Click Add application.
In the Add LinkedIn Learning API application screen, provide the name of your learning platform (e.g., "WorkRamp Content Sync"), as the application name.
Provide a short description of the integration use case in the application description field. For example, "WorkRamp content catalog sync".
Under Choose keys, there are two checkboxes – Content and Report. Select Content.
Click Next and accept the "Terms and Conditions".
