- Task / job information resources (handbooks,policies, procedure guides)
- On the job training (including structured OJT)

- Facilitated digital components (workshops, seminars, sessions, events)
- Facilitated face to face components
- Performance qualifications (sign-offs)
Thinking of e-learning not as a one-off, fire-and-forget mechanism, but rather as a part of a continuum or campaign of support options within an overarching strategy is the right way to go.
