| In this paper we describe the creative and innovative work that has emerged from the collaboration be-tween |
| content experts and creative designers. The project detailed here focuses on enhancing the current range of online |
| learning opportunities for students studying a level one business mathematics course. We highlight some of the |
| positives and negatives encountered when converting existing print-based ma-terials to quality online educational |
| tools and the mapping of face-to-face instruction into the electronic medium. A discussion of some of the major |
| challenges encountered when creating resources such as these for distribution in an online environment is included. |
| The conference presentation for this work will demonstrate the two primary online resources, worked examples |
| with audio enhancement and simu-lations. |
| Keywords: Online mathematics education, worked examples, simulation, audio enhancement, Macro-media |
