[Open-education] History of Distance Education

Wed Apr 29 12:45:49 UTC 2015

Hi Marieke, 

That’s a really useful post!  I knew there were a few open ed time lines out there, but I didn’t know there were that many!  Good to see Cetis’ timeline featuring :) We commissioned that work from Lou McGill. 

Cheers
Lorna
