AI Virtual Learning Assistants: Thanks to Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), chatbots are now capable of providing real-time assistance by giving feedback, answering questions, and recommending new materials or courses.
Management and analytics
LXP data is particularly useful for understanding what learners want to learn. Learner search data is valuable because it tells you what search topics are being used, which content is returned in results, and which content is accessed as a result of those searches.
The LXP can provide high-level data about what online learning content each learner has accessed and what they are searching for.
This data can be used to identify which parts of the organisation are most or least engaged.
LXP data can also be insightful in terms of what content is being used and what isn’t. It helps you know where you can save some money by removing or not renewing those licences.
