After much anticipation from the L&D world, on the evening of Thursday 20th September Learning Pool (formerly HT2 Labs) unveiled Learning Pool Platform, the Learning Experience Platform designed for a more powerful, dynamic and resilient learning experience.

As a relatively new concept, we appreciate some of the L&D world remain unsure as to what we mean by ‘Learning Experience’. In line with Stream LXP (formerly Curatr)s release we have designed an LXP OLX; a short, but intensive introduction to Learning Experience Design and best practice.

Experience Matters: A Crash Course in Learning Experience Design began on Monday 24th September, intended for individuals working in L&D or higher/further education. Over the course of four weeks, users will explore how to create engaging, meaningful and data-drive learning experiences by combining personalization, gamification, learning analytics and social learning.

Exploring a range of key learning subjects, including personalization, semantic analysis, data analytics and social learning, each week we will work through specific examples across a range of sectors, using curated resources.

What is a Learning Experience Platform?

A term coined by leading industry analyst Josh Bersin, the Learning Experience Platform (LXP) is defined as a single point-of-access, composed of integrated technologies offering many capabilities for all your learner needs.

Building on the foundations laid by the traditional LMS, the LXP curates and aggregates content, creates learning learning/career pathways and skill development and provides the user with personalized recommended content.

In recent months, the industry has seen a growing intrigue for the LXP, with learners becoming tired of the administrator-driven, compliance-focused traditions of the LMS.

As Stream LXP (formerly Curatr)’s next edition, Stream LXP (formerly Curatr) adds a new self-directed learning element to the platform, helping learners to plan, track and showcase their professional development.
