The University of Wollongong opened a new campus and two education access centres on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The Faculty of Arts implemented a new degree as part of this initiative and the first year of implementation of this new degree is the focus of this study. The purpose of the study was to inform policy and practice at the University of Wollongong and to contribute to the small body of research in the area. The study indicated that the distributed learning context is affected not only by the local implementation of teaching and learning, but also by the context of the wider university. The study revealed the need for an institutional response to the distributed learning context with documented procedures and policy developments to reflect the changing needs of the staff and students. The study provides recommendations to improve the implementation process for ne winitiatives to ensure sustainability. The study may also have relevance to other institutions embarking on similar ventures, and areas for future research are suggested.
