The shift to remote learning necessitated by the global pandemic encouraged the use of varied technology and approaches to providing quality instruction to students around the globe. As educators scrambled to retool and create instructional materials, some turned to established supplemental content via e-learning. LinkedIn Learning, a business social networking website that also offers video courses taught by industry experts on various topics, provides valuable established content. This study, beneficial for novice to seasoned business faculty, explores the use of LinkedIn Learning in a virtual MBA Conflict Resolution course and measures student satisfaction with LinkedIn Learning. Using regression analysis, we found overall good model fit and some support for the study hypotheses. This indicates that students are satisfied with LinkedIn Learning as a supplemental learning tool and that certain quality aspects of the website explain user satisfaction. Overall recommendations and implications are provided.
