Learning Circuits: Peer-To-Peer: The Next
Learning Circuits: Peer-To-Peer: The Next Hot Trend in E-Learning?P2P networks combine tools that are already available, such as Internet search engines, discussion boards, and email, into shared spaces that aren't necessarily controlled by a central resource. P2P offers a great deal of potential for workgroup collaboration, communities of practice, and informal self-directed learning, but it's a tool that needs to be used by self-motivated teams in order for the advantages to be realized. For now, the jury is still out on whether P2P will become a ubiquitous collaboration tool or a trend that will fall out of favor when the next hot technology comes along.
