From ARPANET To Distance Learning
Thirty-seven years ago this week the first connection on what would become the Internet was made when bits of data flowed between computers at UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute. ARPANET was born - the precursor to the internet. By the end of 1969 four sites were connected: UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, the University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Utah. By the next year there were applications like email. Fast forward to 2006 – Because of the diligence of those Universities almost forty years ago it is now possible for people to obtain diplomas, certificates, bachelors, masters and doctorate level degrees through distance learning.
