"It was never really a 'course'," writes Alan Levine, "but it was a series of lessons, offered freely and openly online, that many people used, others remixed or added to it, and mostly, I was able to 'teach' people I never met, knew, or knew I was teaching." To me, that makes it a course, and marks it as one of the earliest open online courses on the internet (at the same time I was working on MUDs and wouldn't start on the web until 1995).
