(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.

Student Information Systems - What are they and how are they used in edtech

 

 

A student information system (SIS), also known as a student management system, school administration software, or student administration system, is a management information system used to manage student data in educational establishments. It brings together students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

These types of software platforms can be found as independent platforms but their functionality can sometimes be included within a Learning Management System (LMS) application.

(Resource) What is reference management software and how is it used?

 

A reference management system is a type of software used primarily by academia and the research community to keep track of information sources in papers.

Scholars and authors can use this software to record and use bibliographic citations (references) as well as manage project references. Modern reference management software is typically integrated with word processors, resulting in the automatic generation of a reference list in the appropriate format to meet editing conventions and properly credit the original source of other information.

Online libraries and resources are also available to most users through their reference management software and the ability to also search through search engines or 3rd party website for even more material.

(Glossary/Resource) What's an interactive whiteboard and how is it used in education

 

An interactive whiteboard (IWB) is a large interactive display board shaped like a whiteboard for use in classrooms as a modern replacement to the traditional whiteboard used by teachers. It can be a standalone touchscreen computer used to perform tasks and operations on its own, or it can be a connectable piece of equipment used as a touchpad to control computers from a projector. The first interactive whiteboards were created for use in the workplace.

A device driver is usually installed on the computer to which the whiteboard is connected so that it can function as a Human Input Device (HID), similar to a mouse or other type of hardware like a USB dock.

The majority of IWBs come with software that includes tools and features that are specifically designed to maximize interaction opportunities.
