Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello, this is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director here at SyberWorks. Welcome to the 95th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series. Last week, Dave Powell talked about “force field analysis.” This week, Dave defines “peer-to-peer networks.” So I ask you, do you know your e-learning lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi, Dave. So tell us about peer-to-peer networks?
Dave Powell: Peer-to-peer networks commonly known as P2P networks allow users to connect their computers and share files directly with each other. This eliminates sending the files through a central server.
Mary Kay: What are the benefits of peer-to-peer networking?
Dave: By using the cumulative bandwidth of all network participants, it allows for fast and easy file sharing including audio files, videos and anything else in digital format.
Mary Kay: Thanks, Dave. Have a great afternoon.
Dave: You too, talk with you soon!
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to episode 95 of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast. This week, Dave Powell talked about peer-to-peer networks. The episode 95 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 online course development. Until that time, have a great week.
