Leaving aside the title, this is quite a good article about how Glint (acquired two years ago by LinkedIn) and LinkedIn Learning are now working together. Glint is a performance metrics tool, that is, a "dashboard for people success" that incorporates "analytics, natural language processing, manager dashboards, and ability to cross-correlate surveys through the employee lifecycle." The output of all of this is an action plan, and as a part of this, "the platform suggests specially curated learning modules (for free, taken out of Linkedin Learning) right there on a column in your screen" (let's be clear; LinkedIn Learning is not free, but in a model like this, the employer pays for the courses, making them free for the learner). Now - keep in mind that all of this is a part of Microsoft, and imagine if you will how this could be integrated with products like Teams and Microsoft's Office applications.
