Learning Experience Platforms: Overview
In custom software development for 33 years and eLearning software development since 2015, ScienceSoft advises on learning experience platforms (LXPs).
The Essence of LXP
A learning experience platform aggregates eLearning content from various sources, including third-party edtech platforms and provides easy access to them for online learners. LXP offers personalized learning experience due to AI-driven learning content recommendations based on previous learning choices and skill gaps. Thus, LXP leverages personalization and diversification of eLearning to improve learning KPIs.
With ample experience in eLearning solutions, ScienceSoft can shortlist the core functionality of a learning experience platform.
Content aggregation and management
- User-generated, third-party, and corporate content aggregation.
- Multiple content types (e.g., text, images, video, audio, VR).
- Content reusing for assembling new lessons, courses, tests, etc.
- Content tagging.
- Support of eLearning technical standards like SCORM, AICC and xAPI.
Artificial intelligence
- Content curation.
- Personalized learning paths.
- Virtual learning assistants that provide reminders, suggestions, notifications.
- Learning content recommendations based on job roles, interests, and more.
- Intelligent search due to dynamical learning from content and user queries.
Social features
- Learners’ profile pages.
- Learning communities.
- Discussion boards, chats and forums.
- Interactions with content via likes, shares, comments.
- Gamification (scores, badges, leaderboards, levels, rewards).
Analytics and reporting
- Learning history.
- Learners’ feedback gathering.
- Content usage, system usage, user activity, and performance assessment dashboards.
- Reporting on user regulatory compliance.
Examples of Key LXP Functionality
Useful LXP Integrations
ScienceSoft suggests integrating LXP with relevant corporate systems to streamline learning administration and delivery, encourage social learning, and more.
LXP + HR software
– to provide personalized training to employees based on analytics of HR data (e.g., employee roles, responsibilities, skills), which ensures high-impact training.
LXP + LMS
– to enable administration of personalized eLearning offered by LXP.
LXP + social media
– to encourage social learning and learner collaboration based on the shared learning experience.
LXP + chatbots
– to make data-driven training recommendations, remind learners about learning milestones (e.g., assignment submission deadlines, exams, certifications).
LXP + collaboration tools
– to hold webinars, online meetings, send messages, share files, and have group discussions.
An eLearning software consultant with 7-year experience, ScienceSoft knows how to make the most of LXP capabilities. And below is the list of factors we leverage when implementing LXP.
Strong AI engine
to ensure high personalization of eLearning.
Highly intuitive interface
to maximize user adoption.
Mobile-first approach
to enable LXP users to easily learn on the go, both online and offline.
Compliance with eLearning technical standards
like SCORM, AICC and xAPI to allow LXP support eLearning content created with compliant authoring tools.
When Custom LXP Is the Best Fit
ScienceSoft recommends building custom LXP when you need unique eLearning features (e.g., virtual labs in immersive learning), custom design, or integrations with custom third-party software. Custom LXP will grant you total control over the solution’s functionality, aggregated learning resources and help reduce TCO in the long run due to saving costs on per-user subscription fees, as compared to off-the-shelf LXP.
