Thousands of years ago, oral communication was the primary way of teaching, with people heavily relying on cave drawings and stories to understand the world and life itself.
-
The utilization of writing also goes long back in history (Bates, n.d.). For instance, It is indicated in the Bible that Moses had used chiselled stone to send the ten commandments in some sort of writing roughly in the 7th century.
-
With the invention of the radio in 1895, new trends emerged in education. BBC started broadcasting educational radio programs in 1920s and the radio was widely used for education around the 1930s. What's more, podcasts are still a popular tool in foreign language teaching.
-
Learning was fairly digitalized during and after this era. Desktops and laptops replaced projectors followed by smart boards. Learning management systems, an example of which is WebCT, were also created.

of Illinois"... -

Computer-mediated Communication or CMC was generated by Murray Turoff and Roxanne Hiltz at the New Jersey Institute of Technology when the two incorporated teaching with online discussion forums, experimenting with blended learning. (Bates, n.d.) -
The World Wide Web, which is an app that runs on the Internet enabling "end-users" to form and attach documents, videos or various digital media... was launched (Bates, n.d.). -
Google is a lifesaver, game-changer and humans' right hand. It has made our lives easier by making information widely accessible ever since it was created in 1999. -
Youtube is the most popular video-sharing and social media platform that embodies thousands of videos on numerous branches and/or fields of education. -
Bates (n.d.) describes Massive Online Open Course, which was created by George Siemens, Stephen Downes and Dave Cormier in Canada as "a community of practice that linked webinar presentations and/or blog posts by experts to participants’ blogs and tweets, with just over 2,000 enrollments".
