It's true that LinkedIn has been a learning platform for some time now, but open? It depends on how you define it - "it's now announcing it has completely opened up its learning platform to external content partners." That is, it is open in the sense that "customers who have purchased multiple content sources can offer their employees a single place to discover and access all of their organization's learning content." That puts LinkedIn (and by extension, Microsoft) squarely in the LMS and Learning platform marketplace. And it has a key advantage: data. "When your employees use LinkedIn Learning, the platform knows a lot about them that your typical LMS does not understand. It has their job history, their connections and their social profile and inferred skills." But it is not in any sense that I would recognize "open".
