Technology Costing Methodology

Technology Costing Methodology logoThe Technology Costing Methodology (TCM) is a set of step-by-step procedures that enable institutional leaders to analyze the costs of using technology in both on- and off-campus instruction.

Among TCM's tools are the TCM Handbook and the TCM Tabulator, an Excel spreadsheet to assist you in making your calculations.

Projects that originated through partnerships with WCET and are now administered elsewhere:

  • WICHE Internet Course Exchange (ICE) – www.wiche.edu/ice Enables institutions to meet student, state, and workforce needs cost-effectively by exchanging high quality, Internet-delivered courses and programs.
  • Center for Transforming Students Services (CENTSS) – www.centss.org Provides educational institutions with the tools and training they need to develop and deliver high-quality student services online.
  • AdjunctMatch – www.adjunctmatch.org Brokers between institutions with adjunct position openings and instructors with teaching experience to find one another more quickly.
