The paper describes case study research into a technology-based vocational program 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 field has tended to neglect the important concept of spatiality and adult learning.
