Many teachers, academics and administrators have cobbled together a few financial figures for their online learning program proposals. However, few have the experience or expertise to build an accurate cost structure and deliver accurate costs. This collection of 15 articles helps novices understand and use these concepts, especially as they apply to the assembly and delivery of distance and online learning materials. Contributors describe organizational and cost structures for distance and online learning, recent changes, online learning and the university, virtual schooling and basic education, funding, costs as they relate to quality, the costs of virtual university education, the costs and benefits of student retention and online learning, workplace learning (especially embedded learning), open basic education, and the costs and benefits of distance education at an international level.
