ABSTRACT
E-learning is a term that is inextricably linked to the Internet. For more than 100 years educators have had many opportunities for providing learning at a distance. It began with itinerant teachers who would travel from town to town, then correspondence courses, and eventually video tapes and CDs or DVDs were sent by mail to the learner’s home. In the last 30 years synchronous training was made available through point-to-point video and eventually twoway interactive video courses. All of these have informed our practice of distance delivery and served as stepping stones to e-learning.
