Distance education is also a major part of training market. There are many classifications regarding its operating costs. In this report, we divide the costs into three parts: production cost, sending cost and support cost. The ratio of the three costs is about 10:1. Distance education has a high production and support costs, but a low sending cost, which is decided by its features of one-off exploitation, indefinite use and separation between teachers and students.
