From the course: How to Use LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning Daily

- [Instructor] As a lifelong learner, there are likely times that you'd like to learn something, but you don't have time to sit down and watch a course. Wouldn't it be nice if you could learn some really quick professional development tips, customized just for you while you're on the go, maybe waiting in line, or you just have a few extra minutes to pass? Well, LinkedIn Learning has a solution for you, and it's called Daily. Right now I'm on the LinkedIn Learning Mobile app, and I'm currently on my homepage, but at the bottom I have the option for home, topics, and then one of the choices here is Daily. I'm going to go ahead and click on Daily. Now, when I do that, you can see that the content begins playing. I'm going to pause it here, but essentially what will happen here is that they're showing you short clips related to professional development that they think will be useful to you. Now, you can take some different actions. Let's say for instance, that this one, which is "Embrace a growth mindset to achieve entrepreneurial success." If this is something that I wasn't interested in, I could simply swipe up and go to the next learning page. This one here is "Build your sales credibility." In this case, let's say that I'm not interested in it, I could scroll up. The next one, "How to create a winning client relationship." Maybe this is something that I am interested in, and if it's a video you're interested in, you can either double tap on it or click on the right hand side on that light bulb icon. I'll go ahead and do that, and you can see that it lights that up telling it that I like this. Now, as you use this more and more often, it will start to customize that content and find what it is that you're looking for and that you find useful. Now, there are some other choices here. One is that the speaker icon allows me to mute or unmute it, and then I have the three dot icon down below that. If I click here, it allows me to save this course. Now all of these tips that you're provided with in the Daily Feature are short clips from courses in the LinkedIn Learning library. So if you see a clip you really like, you can go ahead and save that course and then watch that later. In this case, I'll save the course. I'm going to click on that three dot icon again, and you can view the author's profile. And then closed captions are also here. So in other words, if I wanted to, I could go ahead and turn closed captions on. And as I play that now you can see that those closed captions are there. Now down below the title and the author, you'll have any skills that are related to this. So this is one that is teaching the skill of client relations, and I can decide if I want to follow that skill. So maybe I see a clip that I really like and it shows me a skill that I really wasn't aware of. I could follow that skill and then get more content on that skill. Now the final thing I want to point out is up at the top, you'll see that trophy icon. If you click on that, that will show your daily streak. So right now I have a two day daily streak going. This is a neat way to gamify your learning and see if you can just get some learning in every day and continue to improve. Now I'll go back and it'll bring me back to this page. So I've used this quite a bit and I found it really useful. Some of the videos aren't necessarily something I want to learn about, but that's fine. I swipe up. Many of the videos though have been great advice on content that I could directly apply to my situation. So if you are a lifelong learner, I recommend taking advantage of the Daily Feature inside of the LinkedIn Learning Mobile app.
