And here comes LXP to add real value to your skills and your experience. By definition, a learning experience platform, known as LEP or LXP, is cloud-based software designed to help its users discover new learning opportunities by giving them access to a wide variety of content from various sources where they can produce and distribute their own material using different channels. In other words, it encourages collaborative learning and gives the learner authority over the learning process. 

LXP focuses on the ability to facilitate personalized learning for each of its users by giving them access to different courses and competencies which are categorized according to employee roles and responsibilities . They can also access different courses according to the suggestions and recommendations related to previous courses.

To make it more customizable – something like a personal coach can also add fun in the user journey. With an immersive user experience, responsive designs, and engaging

look amalgamation of various multimedia websites, learning experience platforms make corporate learning systems more accessible to young and experienced professionals alike. 

For a simpler understanding, consider an LXP solution to video streaming services, like Netflix, which presents us with video options based on our set preferences, past user history, and the same account has various users who get personalized streams. Similarly, an LXP gives users multi-dimensional content options like articles, blogs, videos, podcasts, webinars, puzzles, games and more. All this as per the users interest, job role and learning goal. And of course, it’s much more powerful than this, with options of P2P learning, AI driven course scheduling and much more.
