The article considers the learning management systems (LMS) development problem which has become relevant to the modern society due to the process of active e-learning implementation in the educational process at different levels. The aim of the study is to analyze the literature on the LMS application and the LMS technology development trends. Theoretically and methodologically the study is based on the Russian and foreign scientists’ works. The 2019 pandemic forced the educational system to change the benchmarks and to move from the traditional learning process to the type of learning that can use the online environment as a primary or auxiliary tool for the educational process due to the information and communication technologies development. To implement such a transition learning management systems (LMS) began to develop actively. Theoretical literature analysis allowed to highlight the positive aspects of the LMS technologies use: the e-learning availability, online learning personalization, the ability to track and measure the progress of each user, more effective work with the materials and modules of educational courses, a new level of interaction between all participants in the learning process, the advantage in organizing the educational process from the educational organization perspective. The article also presents the negative aspects associated with the learning management systems use, for instance, the limits that a teacher has because of the fixed resources of a platform; furthermore, the educational process adapts to the platform, but not vice versa. The author notes the possibilities to solve the problem of limits imposed by learning management systems through the development and improvement of LMS platform technologies. The article examines the issues of LMS development promising areas that are becoming central while coping with problems connected with improving LMS platforms. The promising areas are as follows: learning analytics, Big Data reports, LMS transformation into a learning experience platform (LXP), semantic specification development for integration with other LMS systems, new software application interface (xAPI) development to consolidate ecosystems of different platforms, application of mobile technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) when using learning management systems, immersive technologies (VR, AR) introduction. Thus, the LMS platform provides a wide range of resources that help move to a higher level of the educational process in terms of information and communication technologies.

The relevance of research and evaluation of the effectiveness of the implementation of personalization principles of education in collaborative learning through LXP platforms (using the example of intellectual processes of cognition) is determined by the dynamics of modern learning technologies development and the low number of research works on the potential of the effective implementation of personalization principles of education in collaborative learning based on LXP platforms. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing personalization principles of education in collaborative learning through LXP platforms (using the example of intellectual processes of cognition). The research is based on several fundamental methodological approaches, including: systemic, individualized and cognitive approaches. The systemic approach is significant from the point of view of the development and debugging of the LXP platform, which was carried out during the practical stage of this research; individualized and cognitive approaches reflect the focus on subjective activity and taking into account the personal needs of students, principles of personalization during the ongoing experimental research. Systematization of the theory is carried out in the course of the research, revealing the specific features of collaborative learning, personalization and increasing the efficiency of using LXP platforms. The positive and effective impact of collaborative learning and individualization on the achieved learning outcomes is emphasized. It is noted that the principles of personalization based on LXP platforms are a fundamental functional element, which becomes a distinctive characteristic of the LXP platform. The comparison of LMS- and LXP-platforms demonstrates the advantage of the latter in working with highly motivated to learn groups, due to the provision of greater variety. The author describes the progress of assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of personalization principles of education in collaborative learning through LXP-platforms (using the example of intellectual processes of cognition), associated with the development of neuropsychological tests, deployment of the platform, its scaling, integration of additional functions, debugging, etc. This is the effectiveness of the developed functionality of the LXP-platform in the context of influencing cognitive processes that comes down to increasing the effectiveness of courses and reducing the time required to complete practical exercises. The theoretical significance of the study is related to the systematization of issues of collaborative learning, individualization and use of LXP platforms. The practical significance of the study is revealed from the point of view of the potential of using the described experience by teachers and developers of LXP platforms to increase the effectiveness of solutions intended for learning.
