It also draws from the growing body of literature regarding Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based learning interventions (Holsapple & Lee Post 2006. Arbaugh 2005.

Through the research we identify two aspects of the leadership development programme which participants Developing Leaders in Cyber-Space The Paradoxical Possibilities of On-Line Learning note as key to their experience, which arise primarily as a result of the on-line delivery mechanism:•The web-based delivery of course materials whicDeveloping Leaders in Cyber-Space The Paradoxical Possibilities of On-Line Learning
