Distance learning has come a long way since the concept was reportedly first put into action in 1728, when the Boston Gazette ran an ad about a man named Caleb Phillipps who offered to teach shorthand to students anywhere in the country by exchanging letters.

Thanks to technology, many universities across the nation, and world, offer some variation of online learning.
