Free Costing Worksheet (Unit 6)

As I was looking for an article for our Google Doc annotated bibliography, I found an article entitled "Using a Web-based System to Estimate the Cost of Online Course Production" in the Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration.

Here's the link: http://www.westga.edu/~distance/ojdla/fall123/gordon123.html

Due to our discussions about how to appropriately plan for distance education course costs, I thought this might be of interest to people.

Most notably, the authors provide free access to an early version of their work, an Excel spreadsheet that can help determine effort and costs for developing an online course.

Here's the link for that: http://preweb.clt.odu.edu/cost

It is not for the Excel faint of heart, but it could be a great asset. Enjoy!
