I am considering contracting a consultant to assist my division in creating eLearning modules from our existing powerpoint presentations. My staff is also writing scripts for the presentations. Based on what exists now, how much should it cost to develop 4 modules using Articulate? Or what would be a fair per module cost?
I got a quote from a colleage in the industry that says typically the cost could range from $100-$125 an hour, depending on the level of interaction, amount of slides, and the use of SME's. Still, not sure if this is fair pricing though.
I think it would depend on whether you hired the consultant directly, or though an agency. I know that typically agencies charge clients twice what I would charge if hired directly.
Let me know if you would like more information about my rates.
As Tracy said, you would get better rates if you hire a developer directly. Another variable that you might want to consider is the level of interactions you want implemented into the modules. It shouldn't change the rates, but it will change the time it takes to develop the modules. If it's just a powerpoint to storyline conversion with no added interactions, it shouldn't take more to long depending on the skill level of the developer.
Also you mentioned scripts. If you need some narration done, check to see if the developer also provides this unless you will be doing it in-house.
If you need a quote per module I suggest contacting a few contractors here. I would be happy to provide one for you.

Hi Derwin.
I sent you an email. Just want to be sure it doesnt end up in trash.
Thanks

I am very curious on how others price this out. Conversions from powerpoint are a common task for me and I feel like I underprice myself.
