CUT THROUGH THE
LEARNING TECH
CLUTTER:
By Elizabeth Greene
In the world of learning and development
(L&D), technological innovation is
exploding at breakneck speed. New
platforms, tools and buzzwords sprout
up daily, promising to revolutionize
learning experiences and unlock the
full potential of employees. Each new
technology paints a captivating picture,
boasting artificial intelligence (AI)powered
analytics, gamified learning
modules and virtual reality (VR)-driven
immersion. Despite these promises,
the reality is that not all learning
technologies are created equal. Many
flashy platforms and tools promise the
moon, making it difficult to decipher
which will add value and deliver upon
expected results.
Webinars, demos, conference
presentations and industry reports
are bombarding L&D teams. Parsing
through the new products can
be overwhelming, confusing and
frustrating. Now is the time to become
empowered to navigate through the
clutter of learning technology, identify
26
the solutions that add real value and
make informed decisions.
Unraveling the L&D Tech
Alphabet Soup
Overcoming the sheer volume of
options is the first hurdle. Learning
technology is a $360 billion market and
growing quickly. To begin to cut through
the trends, let's take a look at some of
the available tech, including definitions
and sample use cases:
Systems
Learning experience platforms (LXPs)
move beyond traditional learning
management systems (LMSs), focusing
on
a
learner-centric
from
various
approach
internal
by
aggregating and curating diverse
content
and
external sources, leveraging AI to
recommend personalized interactive
learning pathways based on individual
goals, interests, and past activities,
and enabling social learning at scale.
Sample use case:
■ Problem statement: New hire
engagement is low due to lengthy
and inconsistent onboarding.
■ Solution: Streamline onboarding by
creating a personalized interactive
learning journey in an LXP to quickly
acclimate new employees to company
culture, roles and essential skills.
Talent marketplaces facilitate efficient
internal matching of talent and
opportunities
through
AI-powered
algorithms and robust skills engines,
serving as a centralized hub for
employees to discover various internal
career paths, gigs, projects, mentors
and learning opportunities.
Sample use case:
■ Problem statement: Employee
attrition rates peak at three years
of tenure with exit interviews citing
lack of internal opportunity.
