Where are you on your learning journey?
An LXP can help you enrich the continuous learning experience. Before considering integrating your learning resources into an LXP, however, ask yourself this simple question: where are you on your learning journey? As you continue on the journey, an LXP is a good idea to give learners autonomy to study and to consolidate the resources you have across multiple locations. An LXP is a content aggregator that focuses on the learner’s experience. An LXP can bring together content from different courses, e.g.
- A standard content library
- LMS
- Intranet
- SharePoint portal
- Collaborative platforms such as MS Teams
Contrast between LXP, LMS and LCMS
The LMS (Learning Management System) can host learning resources with an emphasis on tracking learning progress and creating reports. An LCMS (Learning Content Management System) helps moderators, subject matter experts and trainers to create, publish and approve content – with version control. The focus is on efficient content creation and just-in-time delivery.
More information about an LXP
Powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence, an LXP makes each learner the architect of their learning journey, creating custom learning pathways and providing truly personalized learning by calling up learning resources based on preferences, skills to be developed, previous decisions and much more. This integration also helps learners not to log into every single site and hunt for resources.
Here are some of the things LXPs can do to help you integrate your learning resources into an LXP:
- Offer content with recommendations based on ML and AI
- Curate and host any type of content
- Offer personalized automated learning paths that lead to logical outcomes
- Support social learning
