What is a Learning Management System?
A learning management system (LMS) is a software platform that is designed to assist in the process of managing and tracking student learning.
It provides administrators with a centralized location for storing, organizing, and sharing all types of learners-related data.
An eLearning Platform LMS is the software you use to
Manage elearning courses and content,
Create user accounts,
Manage Certifications,
And track data for each and every employee.
In addition, it can be used to perform a wide range of functions, including the creation and distribution of course content and group assignments.
More importantly, however, an LMS can help institutions ensure that learners are making progress toward their goals.
By gathering data on student performance across multiple dimensions and facilitating the communication of that information throughout the institution, an LMS can play an essential role in the success of any organization.

What is a Learning Experience Platform?
A learning experience platform (LXP) is a collection of features that creates an interactive learning environment for people to learn new skills and knowledge.
Most LXP’s combine discussions and documents sharing.
The learning experience platform (LXP) is the virtual space where participants meet and interact.
A Learning experience platform enables users to consume content through:
Courses,
Blog posts,
Webinars or Virtual ClassRooms
Glossary
Videos,
Articles
User Generated Content
An LXP will allow you to manage your entire employee and customer experience through a single interface.
Social learning with discussion
Personalised learning based on preference
Individual learning paths
Learning on demand
Supports all media types (video, podcast (audio), webinars, articles / blogs…)
Venue social collaboration : blended learning
Collaborative space for content creation.
The elearning Platform is the tools used by the participants to engage in activities like playing games, using simulations, or reading content.
The online component allows people to watch videos, read content, chat, etc.
In addition to facilitating learning, LXP’s can also be used to deliver training or certify skills. Lastly, they can be used by companies to create digital badges or records of achievement for employees.

LMS vs LXP?
It is sometimes difficult to tell the difference because an LXP must offer the functionalities of an LMS but with the added ability to adapt to the needs of the learner. I tend to think or I prefer to simplify by saying that the LXP is a normal evolution of an LMS.
We always ask ourselves the question of the learner's expectations when creating a course.
What are they looking for?
How should the course help them in their work?
How can we be even more learner-centred?
Well, the learning experience platform is not a learner-centred tool but an e-learning solution for the learner. And from the learning experience platform, the student will choose, format and organise his or her own learning path.
The tool is totally at their service! The elearning platform becomes a knowledge platform for on-demand learning.
Another new point is the sharing of information. The community participates in the foundation of knowledge!
