Last week Dave Powell explained “self-paced learning.” This week Dave will discuss a term used in e-Learning, “information commons.”
So I ask you, do you know your e-Learning Lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi Dave. So please do explain, what is information commons?
David Powell: An information commons is either a virtual or physical space where institutions, resources, and procedures promote effective sharing of ideas while also minimizing discriminatory barriers against users.
Mary Kay Lofurno: OK, thanks for that explanation Dave. Have a terrific afternoon.
David Powell: You too, Mary Kay. Talk with you soon!
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to the 78th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series.
