Abstract
The paper describes case study research into a technology-based vocational
programme delivered by a Higher Education institution. The research involved three
separate interviews with students over a two-year period and an in-depth discussion with
the provider of the on-line course. The results in part support the existing literature in
distance education, particularly the aspects related to the quality of learning and the cost
effectiveness of on-line delivery. However, it is argued that previous research in the eld has
tended to neglect the important concept of spatiality and adult learning.
