Good stuff also at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_virtual_learning_environments to 
which I and many others of the DL and eL community contributed.

Hi Richard, don’t want to be mean but I think your history has big holes in 
it

maybe I’m biased but I’m amazed that you missed out the OU

http://www.open.ac.uk/about/main/strategy/ou-story

also I didn’t see any reference to MOOCs!

I would also include the use of data in distance education such as 
data.open.ac.uk

I would recommend you look at texts in the area such as:

best

John
