E-Learning: How much does it cost?

When you ask a vendor for the price of a custom E-Learning course, you often get an answer of, “It depends.”

In this session, we will discuss what goes into pricing a custom E-Learning class – compression ratios, development costs – levels of interactivity, reusability savings and more.  These will begin to give you insight into the answer of “It depends.”
