Learning Experience Platforms

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 🌐 Struggling with disconnected learning platforms and resources? I get it—fragmented learning experiences can derail your L&D programs, making them less efficient and effective. When your team has to juggle multiple systems, it hampers their ability to learn and grow seamlessly. Here’s how you can build an integrated learning ecosystem to connect all your platforms, resources, and tools for a smooth, unified learning experience: 📌 Centralize Your Resources: Start by consolidating all learning materials into a single, accessible repository. This can be a Learning Management System (LMS) or a centralized digital library where employees can easily find what they need. 📌 Integrate Platforms: Use APIs and integration tools to link your LMS with other systems like HR software, productivity tools, and communication platforms. This ensures a cohesive experience where data flows seamlessly between platforms. 📌 Standardize Processes: Develop standardized protocols for content creation, curation, and deployment. This includes using consistent formats and templates, which help maintain quality and uniformity across all learning materials. 📌 Personalize Learning Paths: Leverage data analytics to create personalized learning paths for employees. Tailored content keeps learners engaged and ensures they acquire the skills most relevant to their roles. 📌 Foster Collaboration: Encourage peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing through forums, social learning platforms, and collaborative projects. This builds a community of continuous learning and support. 📌 Track Progress and Feedback: Implement tools to monitor learning progress and gather feedback. Use this data to continuously improve your L&D programs, ensuring they remain relevant and effective. By developing an integrated learning ecosystem, you’ll transform fragmented experiences into a cohesive journey that enhances learning efficiency and effectiveness. Your team will thank you for making their learning process smoother and more intuitive. What strategies have you used to create a seamless learning ecosystem?

Imagine walking into a bookstore…📚 And every single book on the shelf was chosen just for you...based on your role, your goals, and what you’ve explored before. That kind of experience? It feels relevant. Engaging. Maybe even a little exciting. Now, imagine your learning platform worked like that. That’s the power of personalisation in L&D And it’s what separates content people ignore…from learning that sticks, scales, and drives performance. Here’s why personalisation matters more than ever: 🚫 One-size-fits-all learning doesn’t cut it anymore. Traditional training often delivers the same content to everyone, regardless of skill level, experience, or career goals. And when it doesn’t feel useful? People check out. 📊 The data backs it up: - 72% of employees feel more engaged when content aligns with their role - Personalised learning improves retention by up to 60% - Companies prioritising personalisation see a 55% increase in engagement This isn’t a tweak - It’s a complete shift in how learning needs to work. Here's what high-performing L&D teams are doing differently👇 They’re not pushing generic content anymore. They’re building adaptive, tailored learning experiences — built around the learner, not the course. Here’s what that looks like: ⚡Dynamic Learning Paths Journeys that evolve as learners grow, adjusting to their job, skill level, and career ambitions. ✨AI-Powered Content Recommendations Smart platforms (like Thirst 🧡) analyse skill gaps, engagement patterns, and goals to surface the right content at the right time. 📈 Real-Time Progress Tracking It’s not just about course completions. It’s about tracking skill growth, retention gains, and business impact…in real terms. Today’s employees expect the same experience from their learning platform as they get from Netflix, Spotify, or Duolingo. If your L&D strategy still treats everyone the same, it’s already falling behind. But when learning feels relevant, timely, and personal? ✔️ Employees engage ✔️ Skills develop faster ✔️ And learning starts delivering actual ROI The future of learning isn’t about more content. It’s about the right content, delivered to the right person, at the right time...that’s personalisation! And it’s how modern L&D wins. How are you personalising learning right now? Or is it something you're still exploring? Drop a comment 💬👇 #LearningAndDevelopment #PersonalisedLearning #AIinLearning #FutureOfWork #SkillsDevelopment #EmployeeEngagement

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been around for decades, but most haven’t kept pace with how modern teams actually learn. The dominant model has always been a portal you log into — but in reality, learning is not a destination. It’s a continuous journey that happens in the flow of work. AI is opening the door to re-imagine what an LMS can be. Instead of static modules and compliance checklists, imagine agentic systems that:   • Personalise learning paths dynamically for every knowledge worker   • Contextualize enablement right inside the tools you use every day (CRM, code editor, Slack)   • Deliver nudges and micro-learning at the moment of need — not weeks later in a course, sometimes even through AI roleplays and coaching simulations that let employees practice scenarios like sales calls or feedback conversations with instant feedback   • Enable managers with analytics to understand not just “who completed training,” but who actually levelled up At Battery Ventures, we’ve spent much time studying the LMS software category. My partner, Marcus Ryu, even served on the board of Cornerstone OnDemand. We know this space deeply, and we believe it’s ripe for disruption. 👉 If you’re a founder exploring next-gen learning + enablement platform, I’d love to connect. The opportunity to redefine LMS for the AI era feels massive. #LMS #AgentsAtWork

The concept of LXP is dying… Around 2016, Josh Bersin coined the term “Learning Experience Platform” to address emerging learning tech like Degreed and Edcast. It was a term for a modern approach to learning that resembled the user experience of Facebook and Netflix. It was easy to use, and employees voluntarily consumed learning. At the time, it was a much-needed response to the LMS category, which was stuck in the past with a dated UX and was anchored to mandatory learning. For a hot minute, the LXP was at the top of the stack, relegating the LMS to middleware. However, L&D still needed the LMS for tracking, compliance, and all the other features that make the LMS a core piece of the tech stack.  In the last few years, the idea of an LXP has been absorbed into the evolution of next-gen LMS platforms as their UX modernized. Schoox prides itself on being centered around the learner experience from the beginning, building a UX that is simple and easy for L&D and its employees. All the while, we have been evolving and adapting to meet changing needs and preferences. Today, compliance-focused LMSs are a niche, and mainstream LMSs have consumed LXP. IMHO, there is no real distinction between LXP and LMS – they are (and should be?) the same. That all-in-one experience is table stakes. Next-gen LMSs now deliver high-fidelity learning experiences that are easy to use with feeds, search, discovery… and compliance.  If the LXP vs. LMS thread interests you, Fiona Leteney from the Fosway Group and I have a deep dive podcast on this exact topic in the comments below. Does anyone out there think LXP is still a thing? I’ve been wrong before, but I don’t think so this time. Let’s have a healthy debate in the comments below!
