Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Good afternoon, and welcome to the 11th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series. My name is Mary Kay Lofurno, and I'm the Marketing Director here at SyberWorks, and your host today.
Last week, Dave Powell, our SyberWorks Documentarian, talked about CSS. This week, he will define the term benchmarking. So I ask you, do you know your e-Learning Lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi, Dave. So tell our audience, what is benchmarking?
Dave Powell: Benchmarking is the comparison of similar processes across organizations and industries to measure progress, identify best practices, and set improvement targets. The results of the benchmarking process may themselves become targets for future performance indicators.
Mary Kay: Hmm. Well thanks, Dave.
Dave: My pleasure. Talk to you soon.
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to episode 11 of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast. This week, Dave Powell defined the meaning of benchmarking.
The episode 11 podcast audio and transcript will be posted on the e-Learning Lingo Podcast blog. Please feel free to join the discussion by leaving us your comments by phone, web-based voice mail, or blog posting. We look forward to hearing from you.
Next time on the e-Learning Lingo Podcast, we will discuss a type of learning disability. Until that time, have a great week!
