This paper looks at the delivery of the Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale Campus's Master of Arts (Writing) course to inmates at The Dame Phyllis Frost Centre. It explores how the course arises from a teaching philosophy that: combines practical and research interest in the students' journey; develops student-centred teaching strategies and methods that facilitate deep learning as well as a lifelong learning culture expressed in graduate attributes; has a curriculum base showing a commitment to a flexible learning environment promoting student choice and addressing questions of access and equity; follows a belief that learning is a potentially transformative and intellectually galvanizing opportunity. Further, it explores how this online course, which provides virtual reality lectures and tutorials as well as hypertext links to extra readings and activities was adapted to deliver into jail where the internet is unavailable.
