Abstract
This paper describes a quality framework for the development of a set of online learning resources, namely worked examples with audio enhancement and simulations, used to improve the offering of a level one business mathematics course at Central Queensland University. The framework centres around five criteria that emerged as the resources were developed. They were a primary reference determining the quality of the learning environment created.
