Abstract(s)
Distance learning has evolved a lot since the moment students received materials by mail and as
regular correspondence. At that time, students worked already at their own pace and concluded training
according to their professional work and agenda. Today, although courses by correspondence still exist,
they are being quickly replaced by distance learning. And the success of this format of education are
at the basis of the emergence of different offers and new business models. The success of adoption of
technology depends on several factors related with the organization where it is implemented and with
the individuals involved. In this paper, the authors will present a case, the evolution of the solutions
offered concerning distance learning in the school under study, the actual offers and the concerns for
the future. The authors will identify the factors that enabled or constrained this evolution. They will
also raise some questions that are still unanswered and will point out some clues for future research.
