Abstract
This paper examines the process of extending the use of simulations in educ ation from the lecture theatre and laboratory into on-line learning. The Mu ltiVerse Environment, designed to facilitate this process, is described. An exemplar simulation called Phasor is used to demonstrate how the non-progr ammer can tailor simulations as an on-line resource.
