During the initial configuration, you can configure LinkedIn Learning and
Degreed 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.
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 Degreed 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 enhance discoverability. Degreed supports automatic syncing of All languages content libraries.
Configuration
Enabling SAML SSO
SAML SSO is recommended 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 that you can configure to authenticate users into enterprise
applications like LinkedIn Learning.
For xAPI to work, the Bridge unique identifier (i.e., email address) must match the LinkedIn Learning SSO identifier.
