Is the platform being discontinued for all University of Calgary employees?

As of June 10, 2024, LinkedIn Learning will no longer be available to all University of Calgary employees.

Why is LinkedIn Learning being discontinued?

With contract renewals, we carefully review pricing, budget, and value. While some employees were accessing this service, the overall cost of the LinkedIn Learning contract no longer created enough value across the University of Calgary to warrant a renewal.

Is it possible to extend the remaining time with LinkedIn Learning?

Unfortunately, we are not able to extend our remaining time with LinkedIn Learning.

Is there an option for my department to continue accessing LinkedIn Learning?

Any department is welcome to explore their own LinkedIn Learning accounts. You could also consider activating an individual LinkedIn Learning account or consider signing up for a premium LinkedIn account which comes with access to LinkedIn Learning.

Is there a way to save courses from LinkedIn Learning?

Once the contract officially ends on June 10, 2024, you will not be able to access any saved courses.

Is there another platform offered that is similar?

There are multiple learning platforms out there that you may consider accessing. Many of them offer free courses, while others are paid alternatives. You may also consider exploring the Calgary Public Library as they offer a variety of learning resources.

Is there an opportunity to reconsider or appeal this decision?

We understand that this change may be challenging. If you wish to speak about this further or have any additional questions, please connect with ULearn@ucalgary.ca.
