AI-generated summary:
This excerpt from Morten Flate Paulsen’s memoir recounts significant professional and personal events from the year 1987. Professionally, the author documents his pioneering work in distance learning, including presenting on virtual schools at the NordData conference and helping establish the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU). A critical portion details a study tour to North America where he met prominent figures in online education, such as Starr Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff, before returning to teach Norway's first online distance students using the EKKO conferencing system. Concurrent with this academic innovation, the author shares deeply personal milestones, namely the joyous birth of his son, Stian, and the sorrowful passing of his father from ALS later that year. The overall narrative weaves together the nascent growth of computer-mediated communication with profound family experiences, solidifying 1987 as a year of both groundbreaking professional achievement and intense personal change.
