As one current client of LinkedIn Learning told me, “We were underwhelmed”, upon seeing the new features with Learning Hub. There isn’t a totally new platform, nor are the changes so dramatic, that if you are a current client of LinkedIn Learning (the platform), will you, or at least should you be in a wow factor. What I found with Learning Hub was in essence around four to five new features/capabilities to the existing LinkedIn Learning platform.

The likelihood it will eventually appear in a future release is more than likely, but for the first rollout, and the time they had for Hub, it is odd. Skill ratings, for example, do not appear in Learning Hub, which is weird considering how many learning systems already offer it. An LXP today, must-have skill capabilities, and while Learning Hub has some, they already existed in LinkedIn Learning. The marketing pitches it as an LXP, and I would definitely concur with an asterisk. What I saw and experienced, well, left me asking “This is it?” I got the sense this would be a new platform, completely different than LinkedIn Learning.

The marketing for the Hub really told a story, to the point, that it will be something so original, unique and well, even better than LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Learning was hyping the “Hub” to be a new experience, an LXP with Skills and Experts.
