=Historical Evolution of Virtual Learning= Instructions: As we work through this course, I’d like for us to collaboratively produce some scholarship even though it may not be peer reviewed immediately, that can potentially serve as a useful resource for other educators exploring best practices in online learning. Select one event that you think has significantly contributed to the advancement and evolution of online learning within K-12 or higher education. Use the National Board Writing Process (Describe, Analyze, Reflect) to: Each entry should be unique meaning that if a classmate inserts an entry on your topic before you do, you must select another event. You may wish to simply post your topics as you decide on them, then edit the wiki to insert your full description. Don't forget, you may want to compose your work offline, then copy and paste to the Wiki once you've saved your work elsewhere. Enties should be fairly brief approxmiately 1/2 page single spaced. Writing clearly and concisely is an essential skill for doctoral students! You can use links to further clarify your points. **Click the Edit button above to add your post to this document.**
