- Flexible Budgeting: Budgeting in learning engineering must account for the iterative nature of development. Flexible budgeting allows for adjustments based on emerging needs, such as additional user testing, refinement of features, or changes in instructional design.
- Cost Categories: Key cost categories include personnel (e.g., learning scientists, developers), technology (e.g., software licenses, learning platforms), and user testing (e.g., participant compensation, data collection). Accurate allocation across these categories ensures that resources are available throughout all project phases.
