1997: Talking to one another - The Commonwealth of Learning was very pleased to be acknowledged by Her Majesty the Queen, on Commonwealth Day 1997. In her annual Commonwealth Day message (1997), the Head of the Commonwealth said:
"But improved and easier travel is only one development. Recent advances in communications technology now enable us to talk to each other and to see each other without even needing to leave home. The Commonwealth uses this sort of technology for its distance education programme, especially through The Commonwealth of Learning based in Vancouver. Through communications like these, the barriers of distance can be removed and we can talk together, almost as if the whole Commonwealth was in one room. Many years ago, my grandfather first spoke to the Commonwealth by radio. Today my message is speeding its way around the world by radio and, for the first time, on the Internet."
