“…This is a cost estimating tool for Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) conformant courseware. Instead of LOC the unit of measurement is "hours of courseware" (Smith and Edwards, 2006) and the data set it has been calibrated with consists of 9 Department of Defence projects (SPARTA and General Dynamics Information technology, 2006).…”

“…It could be argued that basing the model solely on military projects makes it unlikely that the tool would be of any use to the wider e-Learning community, especially since the original data set consists of only 9 projects, some of which do not represent the entire ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) process, but the long-term plan for COSCOMO is that the model is calibrated against more data sets, from projects across the broader Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative (Smith and Edwards, 2006).

Abstract. This research aims to address the problems of estimating e-Learning development costs particularly within the United Kingdom. Hundreds of managers with no prior experience of managing e-Learning development often find themselves needing to produce cost estimations for eLearning development and rely on structured expert judgement to produce accurate cost estimates. The lack of prior experience in e-Learning development means that these managers will not be able to apply structured expert judgement to their cost estimations and the risk of inaccurate estimations will be high, with all the subsequent problems this will bring with it. A solution needs to be found whereby these managers can produce accurate estimates without past experience. This research seeks to create a cost model, built on data from e-Learning projects in the United Kingdom which managers can use to produce cost estimates for e-Learning development.

This research aims to address the problems of estimating e-Learning development costs particularly within the United Kingdom. Hundreds of managers with no prior experience of managing e-Learning development often find themselves needing to produce cost estimations for e-Learning development. The lack of prior experience in e-Learning development means that these managers will not be able to apply structured expert judgement to their cost estimations and the risk of inaccurate estimations will be high, with all the subsequent problems this will bring with it. Although an e-learning project cost model that serves this purpose has been developed in the past by the author, the previous e-learning model was based on multi regression analysis that has the great limitation of losing its relevancy as the industry changes, the new proposed model uses an adaptive neural network model that copes with changes as it can be trained easily with new data and this allows the management to keep more accurate cost estimates that reflect market changes.
