LXP vs. LMS: What are the differences?
Summary
"Whats happening now is people are thinking more about [employee] experience, and thats filtered down to the learning environment," said Mark Vickers, chief research analyst at HR.com. 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. The LXPs strengths are its ability to provide on-the-job training, allow learners to work on their own timeline, present content or address learning goals that are constantly changing and manage efforts that require less measurement. Because larger companies may have challenges creating organizationwide 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.
