How Much Does eLearning Cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A corporate eLearning program typically costs between\u00a0$200 and $900 for every minute\u00a0<\/strong>of completed eLearning content.<\/p>\n

This may seem like a wide price range, and that\u2019s because there are many factors that can affect the price of your eLearning program. These factors include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Which eLearning level you choose (Level 1, 2, or 3)<\/li>\n
  • Whether your eLearning has professional voiceover<\/li>\n
  • How many minutes and modules of eLearning you want<\/li>\n
  • How much information is provided for the instructional design team<\/li>\n
  • What LMS you choose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Now let\u2019s break down how each of these factors will affect the price of your program.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Which eLearning level you choose (Level 1, 2, or 3)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    At Roundtable, we offer\u00a0three service levels\u00a0of eLearning that differ in price and offerings.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Level 1 \u2014 $200 \u2013 $650 per minute:\u00a0<\/strong>Level 1 eLearning provides a quick (up to 4 weeks for 15 minutes of content) and economic way to convey learning content with basic features, including client branding, standard\u00a0knowledge checks, embedded videos, and more.<\/li>\n
    • Level 2 \u2014 $350 \u2013 $750 per minute:\u00a0<\/strong>Level 2 eLearning takes up to 6 weeks to develop 15 minutes of content and includes every feature of level 1, plus additional capabilities, including professional audio narration, stock graphics, animated video, and more.<\/li>\n
    • Level 3 \u2014 $450 \u2013 $900 per minute:\u00a0<\/strong>Level 3 eLearning takes the longest time to develop (up to 10 weeks for 15 minutes of content) and is the most customizable option that offers every feature of levels 1 and 2 plus additional capabilities, including custom graphics and animations, animated video, a custom user interface, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Regardless of what service level your organization selects, our team of expert instructional designers, video editors, graphic designers, and project managers will develop a custom eLearning program that achieves your learning goals.<\/p>\n

      How many minutes and modules of eLearning you want<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      The length and number of modules that you want will affect the cost of your program. Depending on the service level of your program, the price can range anywhere from\u00a0$200-$900 per minute.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Typically, the more minutes the program is, the higher the overall cost. The same goes for the number of modules.<\/p>\n

      Although you may encounter higher upfront costs for eLearning, a major benefit is that once a program is created, it\u2019s created.<\/strong>\u00a0Many eLearning programs make the high upfront cost worth it in the long run because the same program can be used over and over again for as long as an organization would like.<\/p>\n

      How much information is provided for the instructional design team<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Providing information to your learning partner\u2019s instructional design team will help reduce the time it takes to build the program. The more information you provide, the less time it will take to develop the content.<\/p>\n

      For example, your organization may already have a downloadable guide that identifies various parts of machinery. Instructional designers can be given this material and repurpose it in the form of an interactive eLearning module.\u00a0This helps cut back on the time needed to build the content, likely lowering the overall cost of the program.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The more information you provide your learning partner with, the less time it will take them to build the content. Information could include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Previously used PowerPoints<\/li>\n
      • How-To Guides<\/li>\n
      • Infographics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        What LMS you choose<\/strong><\/p>\n

        An eLearning program is typically hosted on a LMS that helps organizations manage and track learners\u2019 progress. There are many choices for a LMS depending on your program\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

        Several\u00a0LMS functionalities\u00a0can affect the price, including:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • The number of learners an organization has<\/li>\n
        • The number of uses per learner<\/li>\n
        • The number of courses an organization needs to manage<\/li>\n
        • Licensing fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The most common LMS pricing model is based on the number of users. It could cost\u00a0$.50 \u2013 $5.00 per user<\/strong>\u00a0depending on the number of users participating in the course.<\/p>\n
