LinkedIn Learning provides Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students with just-in-time, 24/7 access to a wide variety of self-paced learning resources that can be accessed via a user’s desktop, laptop, and mobile devices. Content can be bookmarked and tagged for later retrieval allowing individualization of learning and integration to both PDN curriculum and to the academic curriculum of a number of departments.
