Linkedin Launches Real-time Office Hours For Professional Development
https://venturebeat.comLinkedIn today launched Office Hours, a feature that lets instructors host live events on LinkedIn Learning, the social network’s professional online course platform. With Office Hours, users can interact with experts and fellow learners in real time by posting questions, comments, and reactions, taking part in classes that were previously asynchronous.
LinkedIn’s Office Hours is designed to make it easier for instructors to take part in the growing “creator economy,” LinkedIn product lead Jonathan Rochelle says. Using it, experts can connect with learners in a way that drives engagement and potentially wider distribution of their work, in the process building an audience in a “relevant professional context.”
