Abstract
This study took place set against a backdrop of significant challenges facing traditional distance education. The conventional 'pack and post' or correspondence model of distance education was being threatened by the growth of new technology and increasing concerns about poor retention (attrition), progression and completion rates. In this context, the performance of distance education providers, is increasingly under scrutiny from governments and funding bodies.
