Did Lusll throw a lot of money into an established DE arena? Yes.

Does that mean they created DE? NO, unless you believe that the Russian scientists created the light bulb, the train, the airplane, and many other wonderful inventions . . . Sikorsky was a major player in helicopters . . . the other areas were not created by Russians.

And LU did not start DE or really innovate much.

They have done a good job.

But, let's not credit them with things they did not do. IMHO.

El, no one has. Never said LU invented distance learning. They took a new methodology and marketed it to a Christian community in a way that was more credible than other Christian schools that started out as correspondence schools.

For that LU is a major player among Baptist seminaries and colleges.

Paid, you need to calm down.

My statement is not wrong. In the context of Baptist seminaries/colleges, LUSLLL was and is a major player. Didn't say first, best, most innovative, etc. Simply said a "major player."

You can't deny that. The schools you mentioned are unfamiliar to most on this board. No one knew what University of Phoenix was 25 years ago.

But LUSLLL, marketed by the Thomas Road Baptist Church and the Old Time Gospel Hour, and backed by Liberty University was big stuff! They led the way in making distance learning acceptable at a graduate school level!

For the purposes of this thread, they were a major player.
