How is Howspace different from an LXP?

LMS–Built for content delivery, not collaboration

A learning experience platform (LXP) is designed to recommend personalized content and automate learning paths. These platforms often use AI to scale content delivery based on user behavior, but they often lack space for reflection, conversation, or group learning.

LXPs help individuals consume the “right” content, but learning often stays surface-level and isolated.

Howspace–Designed for collaborative, human learning

Howspace is a learning platform built for shared learning and sensemaking. It enables reflection, dialogue, and real-time adaptability—so people learn together, not alone. Instead of just pushing content, Howspace helps learners pause, interact, and apply what they’re learning in context.

With AI-powered insights, Howspace ensures that learning is not just completed but actively applied–driving long-term organizational change.

This makes Howspace a great fit for organizations focused on driving long-term, meaningful changes, such as —

3 Reasons why 500K+ users choose Howspace for learning and training

Designed for active learning–not just content delivery

LXPs often deliver a hyper-personalized stream of content, which can lead to isolated learning. Learners consume content, swipe through articles, and move on, without the chance to pause, reflect, or learn from others.

Howspace brings people together for meaningful learning experiences. Participants engage in shared discussions, reflect together, and build knowledge as a group. This social, collaborative approach leads to higher retention, deeper insights, and learning that sticks.

Plaid LLC

Ensures participants stay active

“Take the social aspects of Facebook, blend it with the community aspect and topical information of Reddit, put them together into a format where you’re controlling it as a facilitator, and that’s Howspace.”

Chris Woods, Managing Partner, Plaid LLC

LXPs recommend content. Howspace supports real-time learning.

LXPs utilize AI to deliver curated content to individuals based on behavior. But once those paths are set, they’re hard to adjust, making it tricky to respond to new challenges or opportunities in the moment.

Howspace is built for flexibility. Whether you’re scaling leadership programs, onboarding new teams, or launching global initiatives, you can adjust learning experiences in real time. Add new content, shift the focus, and keep people engaged–without needing to rebuild a course or learning path.

EAT

Shows the impact of your learning programs

“Howspace became a central tool for our global consultations. It allowed us to gather and connect people from around the world and engage in a meaningful, fun, and interactive way.

It allowed us to host more than 75+ consultations with over 5000 participants.”

Iain Shepherd, Director of Communication and Global Engagement at EAT

LXPs track clicks. Howspace captures real change.

LXPs are great at showing what content was viewed or completed. But that doesn’t always reflect whether the learning led to real-world outcomes.

Howspace focuses on applied learning. By embedding learning into daily work and enabling continuous collaboration, you get visibility into how learning translates into action. Real discussions. Real feedback. Real insights.
