    Text version of PBS series on distance learning:
    http://www.pbs.org/als/dlweek/history/

    Long article on the history of on-line learning by Ken Freed, based on his book on the topic
    http://media-visions.com/ed-distlrn1.html

    I haven't yet seen anyone either dispute or promulgate the claim of the oft-criticized Vancouver University Worldwide that they were the first educational institution to go 'on line' -- which I believe was on Arpanet in the early 1970s.

    Take several incomplete histories, merge them, and then you'll have a complete history. :D

    This timeline, and the 2 other timelines it links to, are a good place to start: http://www.degreeinfo.com/timeline.html
