“…For the sake of clarity, simplicity, and credibility, the discussion of costs [in this analysis] will in no way attempt to measure full costs, only direct expenses. Brinkman (2000) emphasizes that, "The cost accounting data developed for the Delaware Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity is a good example of data suitable for subsequent statistical, econometric type analyses.

ForewordThe Research and Development (R&D) series of reports at NCES has been initiated:1. To share studies and research that are developmental in nature. The results of such studies may be revised as the work continues and additional data become available.2. To share the results of studies that are, to some extent, on the "cutting edge" of methodological developments. Emerging analytical approaches and new computer software development often permit new and sometimes controversial analyses to be done. By participating in "frontier research," we hope to contribute to the resolution of issues and improved analysis.3. To participate in discussions of emerging issues of interest to educational researchers, statisticians, and the federal statistical community in general. Such reports may document workshops and symposia sponsored by NCES that address methodological and analytical issues or may share and discuss issues regarding NCES practices, procedures, and standards.The common theme in all three goals is that these reports present results or discussions that do not reach definitive conclusions at this point in time, either because the data are tentative, the methodology is new and developing, or the topic is one on which there are divergent views. Therefore, the techniques and inferences made from the data are tentative and subject to revision. To facilitate the process of closure on the issues, we invite comment, criticism, and alternatives to what we have done. Such responses should be directed to:

Many colleges and universities are expanding their current online offerings and creating new programs to address growing enrollment. Institutions often utilize online education as a method to serve more students while lowering instructional costs. While online education may be more cost effective in some situations, college decision makers need to consider the full range of cost implications associated with these online offerings. The unbundling of faculty roles in online distance education programs is one cost consideration which is often overlooked. As the faculty role has become more distributed, so have the costs associated with providing instruction and instructional support. This paper reviews the hidden costs associated with the unbundling of the faculty role and presents a framework for calculating the true costs of the unbundled faculty role.
