Skillsoft LX Design Studio Reduces Custom Learning Content Development

Traditional custom course development typically takes more than two weeks and can cost $10,000 to $50,000 or more per course. In early adopter testing, users produced content using LX Design Studio in three to five days. In addition, 80% of beta customers were able to design and publish custom AI conversation simulations (CAISY®) in about 15 minutes.

 "LX Design Studio helps users create content faster and with greater confidence. And as part of the Skillsoft platform, which delivers the capabilities needed for a Skills Supply Chain™, it helps ensure it delivers the intended knowledge, skills and business outcomes", said Bernard Barbour, chief technology and product officer at Skillsoft.

With LX Design Studio, creators do not need deep instructional design expertise to build custom learning. Starting from an idea, an AI design agent creates a design brief and directs creators to the right tool, such as a full course, presentation practice, a CAISY conversation simulation or a skill assessment. Organizations can create learning from their own knowledge sources, adapt existing Skillsoft content to their business context or build experiences from scratch, giving them the flexibility to combine trusted content with their own expertise. The resulting experiences connect automatically to their skills framework.

LX Design Studio also gives organizations governance and control: Customer IP stays owned by the customer, remains private to their organization and is not used to train external AI models.
