One area for improvement in LinkedIn Learning revolves around personalized recommendations. This is a personalized suggestion akin to what I proposed for SAP Signavio. For instance, after completing an Excel course, I receive a recommendation involving who the coach is for that specific course. While Excel is a common and generic tool, I suggest that for industry-specific courses relevant to Process Excellence, LinkedIn Learning should leverage its knowledge of my industry and area of interest to provide recommendations on who I can connect with to enhance my network further. Furthermore, I often see others taking the same course, most from the same industry, but I currently must evaluate each profile individually to determine whether I should connect. Creating a temporary group for participants of the same course or personalized suggestions to connect with others based on similar learning goals could greatly enhance the experience.
Areas of LinkedIn Learning that could be improved or enhanced in the future include making complex topics simpler, especially for finance students learning Python without prior experience. During the training, I struggled with the exercises that required self-completion and verification of answers. For really complex topics related to technology or coding, I believe LinkedIn Learning can make it easier and provide more detailed explanations so someone with no background can follow along with less struggle.
Maybe a pause in the course to give the audience the opportunity to work a little bit more with the exercise files would be an improvement in LinkedIn Learning. I pause it myself currently.

In terms of areas for improvement for LinkedIn Learning, I don't believe it would give me a really more in-depth experience, and I have to see that when I get into the security. It doesn't provide enough practice tests to write, say, a CISSP exam, so I have had to go external to get those exam tests to be able to study.

The benefits I have experienced from LinkedIn Learning's course updates in keeping up with industry trends include pharmaceutical topics that could be added. While it helps nicely with leadership qualities and management tools, they are not subject-specific. Adding subject-specific content in LinkedIn Learning, such as quality management systems from industry experts would be beneficial. Regarding other improvements, I suggest making content more specific to different fields. LinkedIn has numerous professionals from various sectors, from hospitality to any other industry. While it would be difficult to segment into minute segments, focusing on the top five global businesses would be helpful. For example, pharmaceutical, hospitality, and automobile industries are among the biggest businesses. This way, users can access learning specific to their field, and the platform can suggest relevant topics alongside general learning content.

It is funny you ask that because that is exactly what they are starting to do now. One of my complaints has been that sometimes the courses felt staid and rigid, and it is only one format. LinkedIn Learning does something called live action where the instructor stands in front of the camera with a teleprompter and then they talk the course. They do have some graphics, assessments, and downloadable handouts, but for the most part, that is what it consists of, which can be boring regardless of how good the instructor is. This week, LinkedIn Learning has started to mix up their filming types. When I was in California last week, we did some live action with scripted content on teleprompter, but also Q&A interviews via podcast, and riffing where I would be asked a question and then talk from my heart about an issue or a client story, which is much more real and relatable. Some of the courses feel overly scripted versus more conversational. They are trying to do more handouts and downloads to have more takeaways in text, and they are focusing on making content action-oriented. The learner is getting challenged to take action to make the course real and measurable. For example, one of my courses is on how to develop future leaders, and the whole course focuses on creating challenges that people can do in real time. That is the value they are really starting to bring more and more in their new courses.
