Abstract: Abstract: The authors discuss the use of VB.Net as an authoring tool to create simulations for a web-supplemented class in statistics. VB.Net is used to produce small simulation programs so users can conduct experiments that they would not be able to do in reality. Creating e-learning simulations will enable students to fully exploit the multimedia possibilities that online learning offers. A case study illustrates the potential of simulations to enhance the delivery of instructional material in an academic context.
