Here is a brief story of my work as a pioneer and world expert in online education, online collaborative learning and e-learning. I am fortunate in the rich opportunities to learn and to teach in my field.
In the very early 1980s, I was completing my doctorate in Learning Theory at OISE, when having spent a year collecting data in Africa, I returned to Toronto to hear about “computer communications” and “electronic mail”. I was writing my thesis using word processing, but the notion of communicating “on line” with peers in other places definitely ignited a fuse, a fascination, and my future path.
While at the time, for many academics the term “computer networking” meant linking one’s computer to the printer, I envisioned networks of learners and teachers around the world connected by electronic mail and forums. Access to education, to sharing of information and to meetings of minds, seemed to me to be suddenly possible. And an exhalerating vision. Despite this vision, when I interviewed early computer communication users, they told told me that these technologies had absolutely no place in education. This was not only a bad idea but impossible. But I endured and encountered a few wonderful souls who encouraged me.
