Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello. This is Mary Kay Lofurno, marketing director here at SyberWorks. Welcome to the 113th episode of the e-learning lingo podcast series.
Last week Dave Powell talked about RFPs. This week Dave defines Uniform Resource Identifier. So I ask you; do you know your e-learning lingo?
[theme music]
Mary Kay: All right Dave, what is a Uniform Resource Identifier?
Dave Powell: A Uniform Resource Identifier, or URI, identifies the application used to access a resource on the Internet. It also identifies the machine on which the web resource is located, as well as the file name of the resource.
Mary Kay: All right Dave. Sounds good. Are there any other uses of the Uniform Resource Identifiers?
Dave: URIs can also provide users with a complete Internet address for the information they have obtained, and can tell them whether it consists of texts, graphics, audio, or video.
Mary Kay: All right. Thanks Dave. Have a good afternoon.
Dave: You too, Mary Kay. Talk to you soon.
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, marketing director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to episode 113 of the the e-learning lingo podcast. This week Dave Powell talked about Uniform Resource Identifier. The episode 113 podcast audio and transcript will be posted on the e-learning lingo podcast blog.
Next time on the e-learning lingo podcast, we will talk about a term used in learning theory. Until that time, have an awesome week.
