LXP

An LXP, or learning experience platform, is training technology built around the learner rather than the administrator, pulling personalized learning paths together from many sources. The simplest way to see the difference: an LMS tracks which assigned courses someone has finished, while an LXP tries to suggest what that person should learn next to reach a goal. LXPs lean on recommendations, social features like peer ratings and shared content, and a mix of outside material (LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, articles) alongside internal courses. Degreed, EdCast, and Cornerstone are well-known examples, though the line between LMS and LXP keeps blurring as each adds the other's features.
