Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello. This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director here at SyberWorks, and welcome to the 84th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series.
Last week, Dave Powell talked about “voice recognition software.” This week Dave defines “serial bus.” So I ask you, do you know your e-Learning Lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi Dave, so tell us about the term serial bus?
Dave Powell: A serial bus is a channel through which information flows one bit at a time between two or more devices or internal computer components.
Mary Kay: OK. So, what are the benefits of a serial bus, Dave?
Dave: A serial bus allows many different kinds of devices, such as mice, keyboards, PDAs and joysticks to be connected using a single standardized interface. Some types of buses also enable plug-and-play capabilities by allowing peripheral devices to be connected without having to reboot a computer.
Mary Kay: Thanks, Dave. Have a great afternoon!
Dave: You too, talk to you soon!
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to the 84th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
This week, Dave talked about serial bus. The episode 84 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 another term used in e-learning. Until that time, have a great week!
