An Analysis of Costs of Computer Based Training Hardware and Courseware Development for the Model Training Program for Reserve Component Units

Abstract

This report analyses the costs of producing and delivering MicroTICCIT computer-based training system courseware for the Model Training Program for Reserve Component Units (MTP-RC). Part One of the report analyses the costs of system configurations with various host computers, amounts of storage, and numbers of workstations. Costs are reported in the format: Total System Cost Per Student Hour In A Five-Year Lifecycle, and the most economical configuration is identified. Part Two reports the cost of developing five types of lessons, each based on MTP-RC instructional templates. Costs are reported in four labor categories for each type of lesson. Variations in cost between types are discussed and three variables which can affect cost are identified. Keywords: maintenance training; M-1 tanks; tracked vehicle; Army training.
