Using LinkedIn Groups for Social Learning, accessible directly from Storyline course

Hi,

I'm looking to channel a social learning group to LinkedIn from my storyline course.  Ideally, users would see a message suggesting they visit the group to ask questions, post scores and initiate conversation with peers.  My plan is to create a community, much like the one you have here for our proprietary software.

Who can share experience in a similar application? 

What are the considerations / watch-outs? 

What's the easiest way for learners to access that group-- but maintain privacy and security for the group discussion?

Thank you for any advice!

Jaimie
