How much does eLearning cost?
With so many options available, the cost of eLearning can vary drastically. Seeing the price of a course range from a few hundred dollars to up to a few thousand dollars can leave clients perplexed and unsure of what exactly they need.
To make sure this doesn’t happen, we’ve developed the 3C Framework – a fully transparent approach to the development of eLearning solutions that gives clients complete creative, process, and financial control during all stages of the development process. Seeing how important financial control is in each and every stage, we’ve built a tool that can help our clients get an accurate price estimate at the very beginning of a project – the eLearning calculator.
How does it work?
If your raw material is in PPT slides form, follow this formula:
Interactivity levels
Learning architecture isn’t required for this level of interactivity, while 40 minutes will be needed for the instructional design.
The estimated time for the development of these types of courses is one and a half hours per screen/scene. Thirty minutes will be needed for learning architecture and an hour for instructional design. Additional voice-over can also be added, but the price of it is normally costed out separately.
When an enhanced level of interactivity is chosen, learning architects will transform potentially dry raw material into engaging storyboards using storytelling. Additional elements like avatars, videos, or custom animations can be created to support the storytelling.
Optional branching scenarios that provide learners with two or more learning paths allowing them to learn by choosing their preferred path are also available for this level of interactivity. Courses with an enhanced level of interactivity will look modern and stylish and will include both transition and navigation animation to keep the learners focused.
The estimated time for the development of these types of courses is two and a half hours per screen/scene. One hour will be needed for learning architecture and one and a half hours for instructional design. Additional voice-over can also be added, but the price of it is normally costed out separately.
With the ultimate level of interactivity, your courses can include all the previously mentioned features as well as advanced VO (for example male+female VO together), subtitles, usage of VR 360 technology, gamification elements, and custom calculators.
The estimated time for the development of these types of courses is three and a half hours per screen/scene. One hour will be needed for learning architecture and two hours for instructional design. Additional voice-over can also be added, but the price of it is normally costed out separately.
