In November 1999 Peter Knight, Michael Moore, and Sandi de Levante began work as a consultants to SRI International on a project for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The paper  reviews research on web-based learning in secondary and higher education, mainly in the United States, since 1995. In April, 2000 a draft summary of the paper was presented to the NSF and approved as an expanded outline of the final product. A review draft of the paper was delivered for to the NSF for external review in October 2000. The team, which was joined by Linda M. Black in place of Sandi de Levante, did additional work on the paper during the summer and fall  of 2001 based on the comments received and reviewed an additional year of literature.

The revised paper, annexes, and database were delivered to the NSF by SRI International in December 2001.  NSF decided to contract SRI to produce a short summary and initial bibliography based on this work. In December 2002 NSF published the new publication with the following citation: National Science Foundation, Division of Science Resources Statistics, The Application and Implications of Information Technologies in Postsecondary Distance Education: An Initial Bibliography, NSF 03-305, Project Director, Eileen L. Collins (Arlington, VA 2002). Click here to read an html version or download a PDF file.
