Aug LMO Week 1, 1st Comment Sharon Hawn

The importance of knowing the history of instructional development is crucial, for the future designers of instructional media. Within Wikipedia’s article, about the History of Virtual Learning Environments, it began in the year 1728. With only seven noted years mentioned prior to 1920. It can only be assumed that there wasn’t a lot developed during those periods or instructional development had a lower degree of importance to be noteworthy enough to publish such findings.

Sharon,
  That is so true.  My father always said History Repeats Itself and people need to know where we've been to understand where we are going.  It makes sense.  Today, there are researchers in many areas, checking out history, culture and more, to learn how to tell industry, fashion and even education, what they need to be doing to keep up with everyone else.  Thanks for your words.
