HISTORY
In the early 90s some Luther Seminary (St. Paul)
faculty members were struggling to retain students who
didnt have the funds or, because of family obligations,
couldnt relocate to attend seminary.

Tom Walker knew there had to be some kind of tool that
would enable people to communicate with each other
without being in the same place at the same time.

Learning management systems (LMS) also sometimes
known as Course management systems (CMS) have
come a long way since those early days.
