The adoption of the peer-to-peer (p2p) communication paradigm to enhance e-learning applications has been already proposed. However, advancements both in the knowledge society and p2p applications, allow to further push such joint utilization. The contribution of this paper is to survey the exploitation of p2p technologies within e-learning environments, as well as to investigate the open issues to bring distributed platforms to the next step.

Abstract
The adoption of the peer-to-peer (p2p) communication paradigm to enhance e-learning applications has been already proposed. However, advancements both in the knowledge society and p2p applications, allow to further push such joint utilization. The contribution of this paper is to survey the exploitation of p2p technologies within e-learning environments, as well as to investigate the open issues to bring distributed platforms to the next step. In addition, this work also introduces a general framework, based on BitTorrent, to support the delivery of Learning Objects.
