LinkedIn on Thursday announced its intent to complete the acquisition of online business school Lynda.com by the close of 2015’s second quarter. The deal, about 52 percent cash and 48 percent stock, is valued at around $1.5 billion.

The two businesses are very different, but their ultimate goals are the same, said LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner.
