Why this procedure was chosen
The LinkedIn Learning system is integrated into the University's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), ensuring a seamless learning experience. LinkedIn Learning is used across various university departments. Links are embedded within VLE courses for students, while the Library employs it to deliver training, student placement recommends LinkedIn Learning courses to students to improve employment search. Furthermore, individual managers leverage LinkedIn Learning to provide specialised training to their teams, addressing specific areas such as advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency. The University's recruitment literature prominently highlights the access to LinkedIn Learning as an incentive for students to pursue their studies at the University. The removal or replacement of LinkedIn Learning would have a detrimental impact on the University's immediate strategic objectives. It would directly affect the staff and student experience, necessitating substantial time and staff resourcing.
