Learning experience platforms (also known as LXP or LEP) are corporate learning solutions used by HR and learning and development (L and D) departments. These customizable solutions help companies provide their employees with personalized and intuitive learning experiences. LXPs are sometimes called "Netflix-style" learning because relevant content is easy to locate and use from computers and mobile devices. LEPs provide companies with learning libraries that include access to internal and external course catalogs, videos, podcasts, blogs, articles, and so on. LXPs allow employees to access relevant content via adaptive learning paths for personalized skill development.
Although companies often implement learning experience platforms alongside corporate LMS software, the two should not be confused. While LMS typically focus on catalog management for compliance and corporate training, LXPs provide companies with content libraries that they can implement as is, edit to fit their needs, or create from scratch. Some LEPs even help companies identify their internal expertise and curate a proprietary knowledge library. Companies can integrate LXPs and LMS tools to create, manage, and track all learning opportunities.
To qualify for inclusion in the Learning Experience Platform category, a product must:

Provide accessible learning content via skills and AI-based discovery tools, usage-based recommendations, and career pathing suggestions
Create, manage, and track skills-based learning experiences
