In response to changes in market demand technology and the nature of the student body the provision of distance learning courses has expanded substantially in recent years. This has resulted in the development of a new mode of delivery for the MSc in Public Health – Health Promotion at Leeds Beckett University which is now offered entirely on-line using the virtual learning environment. The course is now in its third year of delivery which provides an opportunity for evaluation of the student experience to take place. The aim of this session is to report on this evaluation and to highlight key findings. The learning from this in terms of the student experience will be emphasized in order to inform practice on distance learning provision.
