The Technology Costing Methodology Project: Collecting and Interpreting Instructional Cost Data

By: Frank Jewett,Tom Henderson

A focus on costs at the course level sets apart the TCM project from a rather large body of literature that focuses on educational costs at the campus or institutional level, a useful contrast.

From Volume 32 Number 1 | September–November 2003

Abstract: The costs of distributed/distance learning (DDL) have been the subject of many studies and reports. The Technology Costing Methodology (TCM) project, sponsored by the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications and funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, involves the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems and pilot cost studies at 20 colleges and universities to develop and validate a generally agreed upon set of principles and practices for the costing of DDL courses. This article describes the TCM project, illustrates the application of the costing methodology (including capital costs), and concludes with a demonstration of how actual TCM cost data can be interpreted and used to make decisions regarding the best uses of DDL.
