Estimating the Cost of eLearning Projects
eLearning continues to develop as a feasible and cost-effective method to deliver training. However, the process of designing and developing eLearning is not without its abundance of complexities and decisions. Perhaps just as challenging of a task, is ascertaining an accurate estimation of the skills, time, and resources required to complete a project. In this session, you will find answers to essential questions such as the following: - What processes and roles to consider - How to identify major process milestones - What key factors to consider that impact cost - Documenting assumptions - How to apply estimation techniques to a project - How to respond to RFP's - How to avoid pitfalls such as unclear scope and client roles, scope creep, ill-defined system specifications, lack of sufficient skill base to complete a project
