Vyapthi: A Leveraged P2P Content Sharing Platform for Distributed e-Learning Systems

e-Learning is a popular research area in the modern era. Most of the existing e-Learning systems are web based and developed as traditional centralized client/server systems [1], [22], [23]. However, there are few Peer-to-Peer distributed e-Learning platforms in existence. For any e-Learning system content searching and sharing is important. In a distributed e-Learning network locating and sharing learning materials is still a challenge due to high resource and time requirements. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, scalable and low-cost digital content sharing platform which facilitates for general internet-based users to search and share e-Learning materials in an unstructured P2P network. The proposed platform addresses the learning martial search latency problem in distributed e-Learning networks by introducing content advertising and local indexing.
