As you complete MOOCs and earn certificates, you can update your LinkedIn profile to include your educational accomplishments.
LinkedIn understands that your profile is the 24/7 representation of your professional knowledge and achievements. For that purpose, the social network company has teamed up with some of the biggest names in online education, like Coursera, EdX, Udacity, Udemy, lynda.com, Pearson and Skillsoft to make it easy for members to update their profiles.
This new program, called “Direct-to-Profile Certifications”, allows users to display online courses they have completed on their LinkedIn profile by clicking a link in an email from the course provider.
