Online classes have started and It made me realize how much I had to do on campus. I get a lot more time now that commuting is taken away from the equation. With this time now available, I have more time to write and help others find a way to use their newfound time. Of course, schoolwork is the priority, but putting 10-15 mins in your day to learn something new can really bring a sense of enjoyment being inside all the time.
Well, where to begin? LinkedIn Learning has a VAST variety of content. It has something for everyone, from business to art to computer-related content. It is a beautiful site for everyone. Below are some of my favourite learning pathways that I found to be the most interesting and also builds my knowledge.
Pathways Of Learning
Become a Content Marketer: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-a-content-marketer?u=2174970
A content marketer is a great way to find your passion. With content marketing, the topic does not matter. Many people love this as a pathway because it can
be used in any field and any passion project. This is a smaller pathway compared to others and something I recommend to those who want to express themselves in a form of media.
The courses include:
Content Marketing Foundations
How To PodCast
Blogs
Newsletters
Become a Front End Web Developer: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-a-front-end-web-developer?u=2174970
Web Developing is a lot more accessible than what may be seen. It seems a little daunting at first. Whenever I see my sibling programming something, I get a little scared seeing the lines of code that she writes out. But LinkedIn Learning makes it a lot simpler by putting together a step-by-step course that leads you from start to end.
The courses include:
Full Stack and Front End
Programming Foundations
HTML Essential Training
Javascript Essential Training

Design a Comic Book: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/design-a-comic-book?u=2174970
Ever want to learn how to draw? I know I always wanted to learn how to draw but I really am so bad at drawing. What I love about this pathway as it starts with the fundamentals and works from there. It even goes through colouring and designing the layout of the comics.
Courses:
Drawing Good and Evil Comic Book Characters
Photoshop: Coloring Characters
Designing Dynamic Layouts
Pencilling a Comic Book Page
Logos are used by anyone. I like using Canva but it doesn't give the same satisfaction of creating a logo from scratch. I once learned how to do it in high school, but without practice, I don't remember much of what I learned. In this pathway, people can learn what a successful logo is and create logos with effects, 3D and animation.
Courses:
Logo Design Tips and Tricks
Logo Design Challenge
Adapting a logo
Creating a 3D Logo in Photoshop
Become an Ethical Hacker: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-an-ethical-hacker?u=2174970
Hacking is portrayed as something illegal and only a few people can do. Well, that's not the case. Ethical hacking is the ability to identify the weak spots in an organization's network and/or infrastructure. This is a marketable course as many companies are trying to become as secure as possible and need people with these skills to test and identify problems.
Courses in this learning pathway include:
Introduction to Ethical Hacking
Ethical Hacking: Scanning Networks
