Quest 0.1 - A (Very) Brief History of Open Education

"Carefully review at least 50 pages of historical information on the open education movement. Write a brief summary post on the history of the movement."

The modern history of the Open Education movement essentially began in 1992 with the development of the internet.  While some may argue this point, I believe it is true to say that, despite the existence of all the prerequisite conditions for the formation of the OE movement, the absence of the internet (or some other medium serving the purpose currently served by the internet) would make the very idea of an open education movement an impossibility.
