Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello, this is Mary Kay Lofurno; Marketing Director here at SyberWorks. And welcome to the 31st episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series.
Last week, Dave Powell defined “bulletin board system”. This week Dave will discuss a term used in human capital management, de facto standard. So I ask you, do you know your e-Learning Lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi Dave. What is a 'De Facto Standard'?
David Powell: A De Facto Standard is a specification that has not been officially recognized by an accredited agency, but is accepted and used as a standard by a majority of practitioners. Typical creators of De Facto Standards are individual companies, corporations, and consortia.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Thank you for that explanation Dave. Have a great afternoon!
David Powell: You too. Talk with you soon.
Mary Kay Lofurno: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to episode 31 of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast. This week Dave Powell discussed de facto standard.
