Accessing LinkedIn Learning

Access is obtained via the ECU Microsoft 365 2-Factor Authentication method, using your Emily Carr email username and password. 

When you first login to the new LiL you will be prompted to create a LinkedIn account or connect to a preexisting LinkedIn account. You are not required to have, or create, a LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Learning.

You may also be prompted to create a LiL account; the LiL account should only ask you for some learning preferences and will not ask you for any personal information.
