First, let me start by stating that I had no idea this was an offering on LinkedIn. I have been a LinkedIn user for years; however, I have primarily used it for networking, and, from time to time, recruiting. I suppose this, like other forms of social media, is not a tool I have maximized for business.
I opened and poked around HR as a Business Partner. I liked the way the course was broken down in short, easy to understand, modules. The site allows you to review at your own pace, and the table of contents provides links so that you can navigate to where you might want to revisit the clip. There were also transcripts for the who prefer reading to watching a video. The course provides more than one learning method.
What I am excited about is the second course I visited, which was Certification Prep: SHRM-CP. I have wanted to sit for this exam for years but have always found a reason to avoid it. I have actually purchased the Learning System for the prior designations but did not apply myself, and ultimately the material became outdated for the certification. This course also provides for more than one learning style, video, and transcript, but it also provides exercises that will be useful study guides. I will use this as part of my preparation for the exam. Both courses I visited seemed user-friendly. Both instructors appeared to be engaging and credible. While I probably would not use the module quizzes for HR as a Business Partner, I would for the certification course as ultimately the course is preparing the learner for an exam.
