Over the years Microsoft has collected a number of career and professional-focused websites, including Lynda, an online training site, and LinkedIn, a business-focused social network. It has also developed Microsoft Teams to compete against Slack and rolled many many elements from its former Classroom application into Office 365. This puts them in a very good position to combine them and offer a service that helps students "in identifying career goals aligned with their passions, interests, and strengths (and) help them find opportunities to develop real-world skills and connect them with alumni, peers, and faculty." And there's a pitch to institutions" those that "have a LinkedIn Learning campus agreement can provide students access to LinkedIn Learning's full 16,000+ course library." It's the sort of systemic approach proponents of OER have long dreamed of, but never been able to cooperate sufficiently to do.
