The center was based on the same premise as today: to provide affordable, quality instruction to individual learners through the use of computers. Origins of CALCampus
1994 - Lotus Development Corporation acquires the Human Interest Group
The system evolves into the Lotus Learning Management System and Lotus Virtual Classroom, now owned by IBM.
1994/95 - CALCampus.com
CALCampus was the first to develop and implement the concept of a totally online-based school through which administration, real-time classroom instruction, and materials were provided, originating with the QuantumLink campus. This was a significant departure from earlier methods of distance education because no longer was the individual distance learner isolated from the teacher and from classmates. Origins of CALCampus

Pioneer was an online learning environment developed initially for colleges in Scotland. Pioneer was web-based and featured:
online course materials (published by the lecturers themselves) integral email to allow communications between students and tutors forum tools chat tools timeatable
The main driver for Pioneer was Jackie Galbraith.
When MEDC was closed, the Pioneer development team moved to SCET in 1998 taking Pioneer with them when it became SCETPioneer.
SCETPioneer was used by Glasgow Colleges and a number of other colleges in Scotland.
SCET merged with the SCCC and became Learning and Teaching Scotland
1997 - Deployment of Nathan Bodington VLE
Development of Nathan Bodington VLE at Leeds University begins from the Bionet TLTP project
Dates of Bodington development appear here
1998 - Martin Dougiamas begins preliminary work on Moodle
