Distance Education Price and Cost Report
Poulin, Russell; Straut, Terri Taylor
WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET)
The issue of the price and cost of distance education courses has been discussed in the past in numerous publications including the Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Education. There is a long-held belief among legislators, governors, and other leaders that distance courses should cost less to produce and deliver. To evaluate the trends in this area, the organization formed a committee to draft questions and conducted a survey in 2016. The goal of this report is to detailed information about the price and cost of distance courses as viewed by 197 survey respondents who are on the front lines of offering distance courses. They also conducted interviews with leaders who have researched this issue to gain their insights on the future.
