The Cost of Creating Learning
We recently gathered some data for creating blended learning. What we found is that the cost of translating a message to another medium takes as much time as creating the message in the first place.
Instructor-led to e-learning (Brandon Hall):
- It takes 34 development hours to create 1 hour of instructor-led training.
- It takes 33 hours to simply convert the PowerPoint slides from this ILT into e-learning.
E-learning to mobile (Brandon Hall & eLearning Guild):- It takes 220 development hours to create 1 hour of e-learning.
- The biggest barrier to mobile learning is that this e-learning cannot be easily transferred to a mobile format.

Xyleme Feature Highlight: Storyboard
Xyleme LCMS instructional design templates now include production note elements that can be used to describe the rich media to be utilized in a course.
Using the storyboard output format, Web courses can be previewed at each phase of course design reflecting up-to-date progress. This includes placeholders for media not yet developed with links to the respective production notes. These production notes can be output as scripts for media developers and/or exported to Excel for project management.
