• Early e-learning system
In the early 1960s, Stanford University psychology professors
Patrick Suppes and Richard C. Atkinson experimented with using
computers to teach math and reading to young children in
elementary schools.
As early as 1993, William D. Graziadei described an online computer-
delivered lecture, tutorial and assessment project using electronic
mail. In 1997 he published an article which described developing an
overall strategy for technology-based course development and
management for an educational system. He said that products had to
be easy to use and maintain, portable, replicable, scalable, and
immediately affordable, and they had to have a high probability of
success with long-term cost-effectiveness.
