Cost perspective of the project

Types of costs:

Support cost issues

Capital (fixed) cost issues

Example of imputed cost

Relation Between Support and Capital Budget and Direct and Indirect Costs

Expanded Detail-Direct Costs of Mediated Instruction

Cost comparisons

Costs of classroom instruction

How do mediated costs compare?

Mediated instruction - fixed costs

Mediated inst. - incremental costs

The consequence - mediated and classroom direct costs intersect
