Regardless of how many training seminars, webinars, or course you provide your team members, good employees are out there learning on their own. We know that our learners are using many pathways into content, but how can we track, measure, and reward that informal learning? How can we make sure that content is high-quality and aligns with the skills we want our learners to be developing? The Yet LXi is a multi-source learning experience interface designed to align content, competencies, and activities, allowing learners, managers, and instructors to see how the informal learning content used connects to the development of the competencies and skills their organization or role requires. Content from across internal sources or the open web can be registered to the LXi, added to curated playlists, or explored through unified search. The LXi is fully xAPI-enabled, making skill development automatically tracked and easy to present back to learners, cohort leaders, instructors, or managers through role-specific data dashboards. In this webinar held June 19th 2018, Yet Analytics took attendees through a tour of the Yet LXi and explored the ways that organizations can curate content and measure the impact of informal learning when and where it happens.

3. The Problem for Learners:
Multiple Pathways to Content
What if we could make the learner
experience personalized and
data-driven at the same time?
● Figure out what they need to
learn
● Find excellent content to
learn it
● Track and reflect on
progress
● Across boundaries of
platform, location, timeI know what I need
to learn, help me
find it.

4. The Problem Program Admins:
Insight into Learner Experience
What if we could make the learner
experience personalized and
data-driven at the same time?
● Find resources across
content providers
● Find resources across
competencies and
frameworks
● Lead learners through
recommended progressions
● Understand usage, value,
and engagement
What resources are
being used? What
content is most
valuable?

5. ● Easy to browse and search
for content
● Easy to understand what is
being used and what isn’t
● Flexible enough to align to
the skills and competencies
of any organization
● Serve as a one-stop-shop for

6. Unify access to formal and informal
learning content with the Yet
Learning Experience Interface

7. Features:
● Collect content from any web-based source, on
the open internet as well as via internal
platforms
● Tag content by keyword, category, and/or
competency system
● Curate and share multi-source learning content
playlists
Yet’s Learning Experience Interface (LXi) enables the collection and tagging of resources across any source
on the internet, providing a unified discovery and experience platform for informal, self-directed learning.
Related content suggestions and a fully xAPI instrumented interface make the Yet LXi the best way to unify
both your learner experience and your learning analytics.
● Related content is surfaced to help learners
discover relevant content
● The fully xAPI instrumented platform injects
traceability into informal learning

content
Learners or SMEs
can create and
share playlists
Content can be presented
in many formats
Related content is
surfaced adjacent to

10. Tag Content by Topic & Competency
Content can be
crowd-sourced or
curated by a select
few
Tags can be created
by category & topic or
mapped to
competency / skills
matrices
Content tags are
searchable and
reportable

11. Content Browse by Source & Topic
Organize content by
team, function,
geography, topics, etc.
Create networks
where content and
playlists can be
shared with
subscribers
Enable learners to
browse all content
within a category

12. Learner Profile with Skill Development
Learners can track
their progress by
content tags, such as
skills & competencies
Learners can easily see
their activity log
Learners can store,
manage and share
their playlists

14. The Learning Commons
● Provides multiple pathways into
content for learners and improves
content searchability
● Content curation is streamlined
through playlist creation and
community validation
● Progress data from informal learning
is automatically collected and stored
in a learner’s profile
● Enables a unified learner experience

Problem Demo Q&A Considerations

18. Problem Demo Q&A Considerations
Do I have to register every piece of
content?
What types of content can be
curated?
Do I need a competency framework
for this to be helpful?
Who can add content?
An automated process for
including content can be built to
alleviate the manual process of
registering content.
Any digital content; PDFs,
videos, webpages, Google
Docs,TED talks, content from
other CMS or LMS systems, etc.
A framework, skills matrix or data
model is part of the magic behind
this platform. But the tags can be
completely customized to your
organization.
Two ways of thought:
- A centralized, perhaps L&D
department curates all content
- Or some organizations allow all
learners and employees to
register content.

19. Problem Demo Q&A Considerations
Things to think about...
Who does measuring
informal learning matter
to at your organization?
How would an LXi
platform fit into your
learning ecosystem?
How is informal
learning currently
measured in your
organization?
What does your
current content
curation process
look like?
How would connecting
informal learning data
to other learning or
performance data help
you achieve your goals
and objectives?
