Knowledge, Learning, Community

Other people have written year-by-year histories of online and distance education, but this is written by someone who was there from the beginning and actually did the hands-on work. I first encountered Morten Flate Paulsen in the 90s on the DEOS mailing list where, working with people like Michael G. Moore and Peter Cookson, he was already sharing his fifteen years' experience. Although only complete to 1991 (with more promised in the new year) what I really like about this presentation is that, while this is a personal reflection, it's not self-promotion. It really feels like the focus is on other people, as Paulsen works with, connects with, and celebrates the many people who created the foundations of our field.
