Abstract :
The existing set of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) digital repositories were not originally and purposely designed for sharing learning content, and as such are not well suited in the same way that centralized repositories are for the storing and retrieving of learning content for instructional use. This survey paper therefore reviews some P2P file-sharing and related eLearning technologies, to identify core reasons why there are no P2P eLearning Systems with features comparable to the ubiquitous client/server eLearning Systems. It concludes that P2P sharing of Reusable Learning Content requires a redesign in order to facilitate more comprehensive P2P eLearning Systems.
