Why LXP Provides a Better Learning Experience than LMS?

What is the Difference Between LMS and LXP?

Training and Development (L&D) professionals should pay particular attention to the internalizability of training. If this is not taken care of, learning becomes a routine task rather than an exciting activity for LMS users. Therefore, L&D professionals must ensure that learning becomes an experience, not a task, to make the learning process interesting.

In LMS, Admin Has the Control

The LMS administrator controls what type of content is displayed in the LMS. That is, they decide for themselves whether any user-generated content will be displayed on the system.

Users have no choice as to whether they want to follow the lecture or not. If the course has been assigned to them by the LMS administrator, they must take that course. The LMS administrator also has the authority to allow certain categories of users to view certain categories of content.

LXP Allows Users to Share Content

LXP makes it possible for users to share content. In this way, it makes it easier for users to learn by exchanging information with each other as well as consuming the content shared by the system administrator. The critical difference between LMS and LXP is that LXP helps publish content via user profiles. Users can upload content, images and format their pages via the WordPress editor. They can create and publish content in document, video and image formats.

Users can also comment on each other's pages, as well as on their social media accounts. So social learning is an important feature of LXP.

LXP Provides Personalized and Collaborative Learning

LXPs have much more content than LMSs as they allow anyone to post content. Social learning is an important form of learning, which is why LXP is becoming more and more popular. This is because most of the content in LXP is published by users, which increases their interest. Apart from that, users can exchange views with other users through discussion groups.

LXPs also help users add the content they are looking for to the system using AI. Users can also interact with chatbots that offer suggestions using AI to get an idea about the content through LXP, and they can also benefit from artificial intelligence to get appropriate content recommendations.

Another important part of LXP is skill-based learning. Theoretical learning alone is not always sufficient. Employees can develop skills through practical learning that they cannot develop with theory alone. Capabilities are much more than a set of skills, they are a set of skills that help employees get the job done in some scenarios. For example, talent is what enables salespeople to ask potential customers questions, assess their interest in purchasing the product, and negotiate to sell the product at an optimum price. Listening well to the customer is a skill.

The main difference between LMS and LXP is that users can access worldwide content via LXP. That is, LXP offers users personalized content recommendations from different platforms such as social media portals, YouTube or a company blog. LXP also facilitates the work of HR by providing users with significant benefits in the onboarding process. LXP can be integrated with the Zoom platform. In this way, users can join video meetings and view recordings of previous sessions.

Conclusion

Both LMS and LXP respond to the different needs of companies. That is, you cannot choose one over the other for the same purpose. Companies should have control over the content, the LMS provides it. But sometimes users also need to control certain areas, which is what LXP is for.
