Distance learning is not new, not even in the last 10 years. Many States which supported rural communities had correspondence studies and extension schools. It wasn't until the proliferation of the world wide wide and the advances in internet technology that these schools transferred their correspondence programs into the online realm. UWYo and OU have been doing this for years.

You are correct though that online education is gaining steam.

True. Correspondence education has been around for decades, but the widespread use of online delivery is relatively new. I'm a little too young to remember, but I'm going to ask, how widespread was the use of correspondence education before distance learning switched to mostly the Internet? From what I've read, there was never much support for adult learners outside of night and weekend courses on campus.
