LXP vs. LMS: What are the differences? | TechTarget
Summary
In contrast, learning experience platforms enable users to access content through social media, blog posts, videos and other channels, and tap into information from sources around the internet. "The front-end interface will look more like Netflix, while the systems back end generates content recommendations based on the users goals, experiences, preferences and history," Clapp said. Through consumer-grade experiences that simplify searching and accessing content, LXPs offer digital learning in a variety of ways, many of them less formal than the LMS approach, Clapp said. An LXPs strengths are its ability to provide on-the-job training, allow learners to work on their own timeline, present user-generated content or address learning goals that are constantly changing and manage efforts that require less measurement. Because larger companies may have challenges creating organization-wide change, they may want to start by having a pilot group work with a new platform, then expand the offering when there are some early successes to publicize, Whitbeck said.
