Open School BC

Phase 1: Discover

We’ll work with your team to define goals, gather requirements, and build a course design plan. We’ll also create a charter with timelines and budget.

Depending on the complexity of the project, the cost is typically $12,000 to $20,000.

Phases 2 and 3: Design/Develop/Test and Deliver

The cost for writing content varies greatly so is difficult to estimate. Costs for how content is presented are based on complexity and how interactive the learning experience is.
