As part of an online training strategy, content curation makes it possible to offer learners qualified and relevant information gathered in one place. By integrating content curation into a LXP, employees do not spend time looking for interesting and complementary modules to their training on search engines, they already have access to high added value content on their learning platform.
Bringing information together in a single platform has three advantages:
- Enrich the training received and meet the skills development needs of employees.
- Make research results more relevant and accessible because they are based on collaborators' learning programs.
- Promote the commitment of learners over the long term by anchoring the moments of vigilance in their professional habits.
The benefits of content curation
In the field of training, content curation, integrated into an LXP, is the selective collection of relevant information in relation to a theme in order to compose a coherent corpus sources, information and knowledge useful for a learner.
First of all, curation makes it possible to collect or juxtapose information in relation to the context and the training objectives. It then gives the possibility to annotate and carry out analyses, recommendations and summaries.
Content curation can be done at two levels:
- At the organizational level: monitoring is managed by certain departments (HR, marketing, operations).
- At the individual level: content curation tools allow collaborative monitoring by members of a given team, but also the possibility of commenting, annotating or sharing.
Content curation and LXP: a winning combination to improve the learning journey
An LXP makes it easy to access and consult various types of information in a simple and effective way. LXP places the learner at the center of the user experience. Indeed, on an LXP, the learner himself participates in the curation of content.
Aggregate and categorize content sources
Content curation and LXP: towards better classified information?
The LXP makes it possible to aggregate and index the numerous sources of content curation available: RSS feeds from media sites or blogs, MOOC, YouTube, Spotify (podcasts), Vimeo, etc. The learner thus has a single place to consult all the information deemed relevant to complete the training: the LXP platform.
With training programs hosted and made available on LXPs, learner knowledge is advanced and it is possible to provide relevant content that will be integrated into the user's training course.
Depending on the size of the organization, the number of information sources can reach several tens of thousands of contents to be indexed. The LXP must therefore have an intelligent search system.
Integrating intelligence into the business ecosystem
Content curation and LXP: for a better Learning Analytics approach?
The LXP is integrated with other training ecosystems of the organization, in particular Business Intelligence tools. The company therefore has all the information necessary to have an approach of Learning Analytics which will facilitate automatic recommendation via a recommendation engine such as a Learning Bot.
Learners can also be recommended content in chat applications such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, a good way to reinforce the dimension. Social learning !
