  • Open Publication License

    Created but lacked legal refinement.
  • Turn of the Century

    Print media and one way communication was the basic form of learning. "However, Darcy DiNucci (1999) argued “the Web we know now ... is only an embryo of the web to come." (Ramsey, West 2023)
  • Information Superhighway

    The information superhighway begins to expand and emerge with two way communication such as blogs, wikis, Youtube, podcasting, and social networking.
  • Web 2.0

    As the Web 2.0 expanded with two way communication, this created the opportunity for collaborative revision with people in their same class, school, or even a stranger across the world. This allowed for group forming and "collaborative revision" (Wiley, 2002.)
  • Creative Commons

    Creative Commons built upon Open Content License and Open Publication License to allow users who created educational content to be shared and how they wanted the "rights" to be used. It allowed users to access content and be able to use it through technology and not violate copyright.
  • SCORM Released

    Sharable Content Object Reference Model is released to provide a set of standards telling programmers how to write their software so it "works" with Learning Management Systems such as Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle.
  • Experience API Created

    xAPI can provide a deeper tracking for learning when combined with SCORM.
