Self-support materials
How to access our self-support materials and resources for Learn.
Training
We have a number of Learn training courses run by IS Digital Skills - so if you prefer to get training face-to-face, please sign up.
Looking for Help with Learn?
From the beginning of the 23/24 academic year, all new courses will be delivered using an updated Learn interface. In order to ensure that users can access support materials for current and previous year courses we have kept old support materials on Edweb pages and created a new Sharepoint Learn site full of useful resources for the new interface.
For Learn resources for current courses, please visit the Learn Sharepoint (University of Edinburgh users only).
Here you can access the most up-to-date information such as:
- Good practice guidance
- Training and support resources
- How to guides
To access support material for older courses please use the pages below as usual.

LinkedIn Learning
There are a range of short tutorials on LinkedIn Learning for getting the most out of Learn for your courses.
These tutorials have broken down the key elements of using Learn and managing courses into short manageable videos that range from 2-10 minutes in length.

Blackboard Essential Training on LinkedIn Learning
The videos will contain examples from other universities and may use different terminology. However, the functionality should be the same as the University of Edinburgh Learn system.
