Abstract

The authors trace the major historical milestones achieved by Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in its pioneering of graduate-level online learning programs. We share our story of building our online programs from scratch and from within the trenches. We highlight the milestones we achieved in online learning from first inception of the idea in the early 1980s to some of our present-day accomplishments. We hope the telling of our story will inspire higher-education professionals to start their own online programs, while perhaps avoiding some of the barriers we have experienced as challenges to building online programs.
