The history of distance learning can be traced back to the 1890’s. Distance education was then known as correspondence course. The University of Wisconsin was the pioneer in this venture supported by other universities. This was the era when there was no concept of “media”. There was no television, and the internet was too distant a dream. Sending paper through regular mail was the only “medium” of instruction. Correspondence courses ruled the roost until the time television came to life. Television was perceived to be an excellent medium for spreading education. Even today, this has remained a dream.
Post World War II
World war II brought major changes to the lives and styles of citizens. The history of distance learning got a shot in the arm when extension courses became popular. While this idea had been popular in the UK for over 50 years, the USA did not discover it until the early 50’s. American universities borrowed the concept from the universities of Cambridge and Oxford in the UK. This included developing an off-campus system for university programs.
The mid 60’s also saw the launch of what was then the largest classroom for physicians. This was set up through telephone networks in Wisconsin. In the late 60’s, a Carnegie funded program termed AIM, Articulated Instructional Media, was developed. The early 70’s were witness to many telecourses developed by various universities. Telecourses, as the name suggests, used to be delivered through television with the program being beamed into the households where the students would take the courses. The assignments were sent by regular mail, and returned by the same mode. It was a time-consuming process.
Arrival of Cable TV
Cable TV changed the way Americans lived. The year 1987 saw the launch of an education channel called M/EU. This was an abbreviated form of Mind Extension University. Hendricks brought in the Discovery Channel as a mode of spreading education through entertainment. The history of distance learning is littered with experiments done by enthusiasts and educationist of various hues. The distance learning world changed dramatically with the entry of the internet.
The internet is responsible for changing the way people perceived life, it brought in the element of interaction for the first time in the history of distance learning. Earlier attempts in distance education were limited to one-way monologues. The internet changed this to a dialogue between two or more people simultaneously. Earlier versions of the internet were restricted to text only message exchanges. These modes are slowly being replaced with hi definition and hi resolution video streams. The internet, it seems, was made for distance learning.
Philip Kindred Dick was an American novelist and a short story writer. He was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California.
The Man in the High Castle, by Philip Dick, is a Sci-fi novel that helped to define the alternative history genre and has won the Hugo Award for the best novel in 1962. The story is about the daily life of the winners and the vanquished under the fascist rule. The base is set in West-Coast America in the 1960s, when the Axis powers won the Second World War.
It’s a well-known fact that the former U.S president, Franklin Roosevelt was assassinated that had some effect on American preparations for the war. The US entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. New York and San Francisco were badly damaged, during the war that lasted until 1947. In the consequences, the United States has been partitioned, with Nazi-run Eastern and Japanese-run Western portions. Only the strip of Rocky Mountain States was left free, as it is a buffer zone.
In this neutral buffer zone lives the man in the high castle, the author of an underground bestseller, “The Grasshopper Lies Heavy,” a work of fiction that offers an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis lost the Second World War. The message is very simple that, both Japanese and Germans didn’t win the war in a fair manner, even though history says they won.
In short, this The Man in the High Castlebook is about the connection between history, facts and creativity, which is carefully adjusted and controlled. Moreover, this book is one of the widely published books with more than 28 editions, remaining as the finest alternative world novel ever written.
