What are LXPs, and will they replace the traditional LMS? I’ve recently seen a new term crop up in e-learning blogs, and it deserves some clarification. That term is “Learning Experience Platform,” or LXP. According to some of the blogs I’ve read, the LXP is the next generation of the LMS: more powerful, more flexible, and generally better across almost every e-learning context. What people describe when they talk about an LXP sounds great.

How far has artificial intelligence come, and how soon will it reach online education? In May 1997, Deep Blue, an artificial intelligence developed by IBM, defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov , marking a significant symbolic advance in computing technology. Deep Blue accomplished this feat using a brute force algorithm, which allowed it to calculate thousands of possible moves in a short period of time and choose the ones most likely to lead to victory.

Well-run employee training programs are an investment. Here’s how to understand them. Employee training can be a difficult investment for many organizations to evaluate. One the one hand, there are some obvious costs associated with it. The more time new hires spend in training, the longer it takes to prepare them for their jobs, and the less flexibility the organization has in managing workplace turnover.

Videos are an essential aspect of online education. But how long is too long? And how short is too short? If your video strategy for creating course videos was to tape a lecture and throw it online, it’s unlikely many of your learners are staying till the end. If they are, they’re probably pausing it mid-stream and coming back to it later. Because a forty-five-minute lecture is more than what the average learner can process in one sitting. And no, it’s not because attention spans are shrinking.

Why you should build and test a workable model of your course early in the design process. You’ve just had a brainstorm for a great new course idea, and you’re eager to begin planning content. You quickly write a course outline, and are ready to begin fleshing it out into a full-blown course. But before you get too carried away, there’s a step you should take first: course prototyping. An e-learning prototype is different from a storyboard, but not as developed as a beta test.

Learners will have better outcomes with the right kind of support from their instructors. One of the biggest struggles online educators have in growing a successful online business lies in engaging and retaining the learners who have already signed up for their course. Online learners frequently feel out of touch and disconnected , and these feelings can be enhanced by unintentional communication mistakes from the educators themselves.

Learner-generated content is a great way to flip the classroom and engage students. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of content you’re producing for your online course, it may interest you to know that there’s another way. Your learners themselves can generate course content, and doing so is likely to lead to better outcomes. Of course, the purpose of learner-generated content isn’t to offload your job onto you learners.

Effective communication in online learning can improve student outcomes and satisfaction. Of all the challenges facing online education, lack of personal contact with instructors probably tops the list. Learner completion rates are often low, and isolation and lack of support are frequently-cited culprits for their lack of engagement. Instructors therefore have plenty of motivation to find ways to reduce isolation and improve support.
