The history of online schools had its beginning in the mid-1800s during the agrarian era. Born out of a need for educational opportunities to reach a geographically dispersed population, the first online education was in the form of correspondence courses. Other, more advanced forms did not emerge until the onset of the industrialization age in the 1920s. Developments in new technology during that period from the late 1920s to 1970-saw distance learning opportunities grow through the use of radio and television. By 1970, the world had begun to focus on the power of the computer and online education entered the virtual age.
