(Resource) What is a Learning Experience Platform (LXP) and how does it work

 

Learning Experience platforms are primarily AI driven pieces of software designed to help improve traditional LMS technology by focusing on the user behavior and fine-tuning the learning process accordingly with the hope of increasing engagement and productivity.

As opposed to LMS platforms that are primarily focused on the educator or business LXP places 100% of it’s emphasis on the end-user and how they consume the course material.

Whats the purpose of a Learning Experience Platform?

The purpose of a Learning Experience Platform is to offer a more personalized approach to the traditional LMS User Interface and incorporate other features like social networking to bring in a wider variety of content sources including but not limited to:

    Blog articles
    Industry articles & whitepapers
    Videos
    Audio files
    Infographics
    Podcasts and more

LXP software can also make recommendations to end-users on new course material they are interested in and present it in a way best suited to how that end-user learns best.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) allows for personalized learning for users based on their previous activity, stated goals, or inferred learning style.
An LXP may also support individual peer-based social learning. This enables users to connect with peers or experts in the same way that social networking platforms, forums and other online communities do.
