I am working on an instructional design degree and would like to find out a cost analysis estimate. The design is a basic Introduction to business course for online, using either WebCT, blackboard or as a web page. To design one course, where can I go to find out the following? I certainly don’t expect anyone to fill in the blanks, but I would like a good resource for determining the cost. Maybe the form is too extensive and items are not necessary for a more simple project like this? Thanks for any suggestions!
