The document discusses the history of formal learning relationships and education technology. It notes that ancient learning involved a master-guru and disciple relationship. In medieval times, the relationship was between a doctor and student-novice. During colonial times, it was a teacher-pupil relationship. The document then outlines some key developments in distance education including the University of Chicago mailing lessons in the 1850s, satellite TV courses in the 1980s, and the arrival of the first learning management system called FirstClass in 1990.
