The $200 answer – to what question ?

• Cost per pupil for 88 seats on a commercial MOOC on AP math in 23 Delaware schools ?

• Price per credit from Arizona State U Global Freshman Academy MOOC first year course

Compare:

• Lack of advanced math teachers

• $84 per credit at Community College

• Arizona tuition 85%, state funding 47% (20082014, figures CBPP 2015)
