I agree that reading verbatim onscreen text is distracting, and in most cases, not a recommended best practice. Typically it is used when a course needs to be section 508 compliant (that is, consumable by people with disabilities). Regarding comparing ID approaches, the short answer is, ask them what informs their design choices. There should be some reasoning behind the deisgn that they've suggested, and hopefully that reasoning will be well-aligned with the business goals associated with the course. Thanks, Alycia.

But I noticed you mentioned "Is the audio the same or different from on-screen text?" and I know reading verbatim onscreen text has been shown to be very distracting and poor instructional design. Would you have suggestions as to how to compare the ID approaches of vendors? Very helpful -- thanks!

Thanks for sharing with us what has obviously taken you a some time to figure out. I eagerly look forward to the next post in this series. Awesome post!

The ranges provided for reusability savings were meant to imply a variance in terms of quality and quantity of existing materials, but I agree that a more detailed break down would be even more helpful. Do you have a secret formula that you use? Clark, that's an excellent suggestion.

I've seen the quality of the original material affect the cost. Some factoring that took into account the continuum from just a set of bad PPTs and PDFs and no SME accesss, to your already-developed ILT course, would prove a useful extension to address many of the questions I get. one way to expand this is removing the assumption of an existing ILT course.
