In the second
post in this series on eCredentialing, Dan discussed how new digital
Learning Recognition Networks (LRNs) can simultaneously support the goals of
learners, educators, schools, recruiters, and admissions officers. A reader
posted a question on that post about how the endorsement practices afforded by
these new LRNs build on the existing endorsement practices, like those at
LinkedIn. Since its launch in 2002, LinkedIn has grown into the largest digital
LRN in existence. So, this is a great question.
Dan did some digging using his own network to hunt for someone with very
specific competencies, while Chris dug into the recent research and improvements
to LinkedIn Endorsements. We also peeked into the new LinkedIn Learning made possible by the
acquisition of Lynda.com.
