I remember now about Walter Cronkite. The others are new to me but we will research them too for a new post. Would you like to blog for us on this topic? Or do you have any more tips. It's so important that people know how long distance learning has been around and who has used this means over the years. Thanks again for your tips! Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the tip. Do you know anyone who might write this or help with the research? If so, let me know.

George Gallup, for one, at Iowa back in the 1920s or 30s. And a famous biologist also taught correspondence for Iowa then--can't remember the name now, but this English major had heard of him.

It's so odd that so much of the world has used distance learning and competency based degrees since the 1890s and early 1900s. Colleges in the USA are very behind the "times." You’re welcome, Dan.
