Why We Created ExpertEdge

Why We Created ExpertEdge
Jun 18, 2025

Over the last few years, we kept seeing the same frustration in conversations with L&D leaders. They had invested in good learning platforms, but filling them with high quality content was still hard. Too often, what was available was built around old models of learning. Long, instructor led video courses. PDFs and ePubs that worked badly inside an LMS. Content that quickly went out of date, or sat locked inside separate apps.

We knew there had to be a better way. At Packt, we had thousands of books and video courses, all built with a strong editorial process and learning design behind them. The challenge was how to make that content work in the way modern learners expect. Searchable. Interactive. Accessible. And delivered inside the platforms organisations already use.

That is where ExpertEdge began. We realised we could take this structured content and transform it into full courses. Not just flat files or videos, but proper courses that feel like a natural part of the learning experience. We built the capability to keep those courses up to date, so they never go stale. And we partnered with others (including Rheinwerk, Rosenfeld Media, and ACI Learning) to expand the range of topics and skills we could cover.

The result is a growing catalogue of high quality, interactive courses that work natively inside any LMS or LXP. No extra apps. No clunky files. Just great learning content, ready to use.
