I seek the origins of these concepts:
"Correspondence Education"
"Open Education / Open Learning"
"Distance Education / Distance Learning"
"E-learning"
"Virtual education"
"Mobile learning"
In which context were used for the first time?
In which publication?
You know the first institution that led those terms in its name?
You know the first journal that led those terms in its name?
You know the first scientific article that used those terms?
What national or international association used the term first?
...
I have written about the history of distance education (eg http://goo.gl/mfjxBa). Now I seek not history but the literal origin of certain terms.
Thank you very much.
I need bibliographical references
Can you help me?
You can use Google Trends to find when they were first used in on-line material.
For scholarly papers, see Google Scholar and ERIC.
For references, see the end of the entries in Wikipedia.
'1728 advertisement in the Boston Gazette for "Caleb Phillips, Teacher of the new method of Short Hand," ... sought students who wanted to learn through weekly mailed lessons'!
Thank you very much, Ian.
About history of distance education I have written on several occasions.
Now, do not worry about the historical development of distance education. What I seek is the origin of the specific terms and not from experience.
Surely someone may solve some of my doubts.
For my partI will continue looking at the line you point out, Ian.
Here is an interesting example of the recent changes in emphasis
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22Virtual%20education%22%2C%20%22Mobile%20learning%22%2C%20%22Correspondence%20Education%22%2C%20%22Open%20Education%20%22%2C%20%22M-learning%22&cmpt=q
Have fun!
Interesting comparison, Ian.
It is a pity that only encompasses since 2004.
Thank you.
I found a blog in which the author posted an infographic about the history of DE. He mentions that the first use of the term "distance education" was in 1892 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am not sure whether that is correct, nor does he mention the source. But it could be a good starting point: http://elearningindustry.com/the-history-of-distance-learning-infographic
