“How much per hour (and what exactly is ‘an hour’)?”

Steve Mackenzie is opening the upcoming eLearning Network event on “elearning Costs” at The Society of Chemical Industry on 24th November with a presentation entitled “How much per hour?” With his experience of working for both an e-learning supplier and an e-learning client, Steve Mackenzie will set the scene for the day, by exploring some of the key issues around pricing from the perspective of those involved in procuring e-learning, and from those responsible for the development of e-learning.

“An hour” is the usual measure by which e-learning prices are compared, but what do we mean by “an hour” and exactly what is included in that hour? For example, does the cost include all the elements of e-learning production? What degree of flexibility is there in changing the design or content within the course as it is developed or do all alterations become costed change requests? In fact is “an hour” the best measure to use – is there anything better? What’s the best way for both clients and suppliers to decide on a mutually agreeable cost for e-learning? Steve Mackenzie considers these points and many others.
