How do I embed content into iLearn?

To add Udemy Business content to your iLearn unit, simply copy and paste the links to relevant training. 

However, if you only add the link, Udemy Business will require students to take the additional step of enrolling in the content. See below for a simple fix.

Auto-enrol instructions:

For Course URLs: Simply add /enroll to the end of the URL.

Example: https://mq.udemy.com/course/practical-leadership/ becomes https://mq.udemy.com/course/practical-leadership/enroll

For Lecture (video) URLs: Modify the URL to include /enroll after the Course detail

Example: https://mq.udemy.com/course/practical-leadership/learn/lecture/3665950#overview becomes https://mq.udemy.com/course/practical-leadership/enroll/learn/lecture/3665950#overview
