To me, it feels like mostly a translation exercise, from unquantified data, to 'coins': "The cost effectiveness values resulting from the calculations were summarized in four "coins" (efficiency coins=$; quality coins; affective coins; and knowledge management coins) for each of the three actors (students, instructors and university)."
