Putting a value on online activity: Couple of University examples?

Putting a value on online activity: Couple of University examples? • Aquisition of students. • Not how many, but at what cost.

International Students

You know: Visitors from India Basic demographic analysis Number that went to international student section Basic cost of maintaining website

• We attract 50,000 people this month to our main site from India aged between 16-30 who are interested in becoming international students- the cost of bringing these prospective student to the University is £0.003 per visitor • £0.003 per visit (ﬁxed cost of structural IT provision * (any extra campaign expenditure)/number of visitors from that country

You know how many downloaded an application form

Of these visitors 1,000 downloaded an application. The cost per application is £0.06

You know the number of successful applicants and the yearly fees for the international student

Using the previous years ﬁgures we forecast 50 of these applications will be successful therefore generating a revenue of £40,400 per year (£121,200 over three undergraduate course) for the university £8,800 per year undergraduate classroom taught course (average per year-UK)(2008-9)
