Set up sharing awards to LinkedIn profiles
Instructors can enable award sharing to LinkedIn profiles for their learners. To display awards in users' LinkedIn profiles with the issuer's logo and link to the organization page of the issuing organization, specify the LinkedIn ID. If you do not set it, awards display D2L as the issuer.
To enable sharing awards to LinkedIn profiles
From the Admin Tools menu, select Config Variable Browser.
Navigate to the d2l.Tools.Awards.LinkedInEnabled (Org) configuration variable and set it to ON.
If it is turned ON, then a sharing option checkbox at the course level (found on the Course Awards page) becomes available.
