Enterprise Learning Framework
Overview of the Enterprise Learning Framework
https://www.microsoft.com/technet/desktopdeployment/bdd/elf/Welcome.aspx
The Enterprise Learning Framework (ELF) helps corporations develop a training and communication plan for employees during Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office system deployment. The ELF identifies the most relevant learning topics on Windows Online Help and Office Online for different stages of deployment and different types of users. With the Enterprise Learning Framework you can:
- Minimize concern by preparing employees for deployment and raising awareness of the new versions’ benefits
- Minimize disruption on deployment day by getting employees up to speed with a short list of "must know" topics
- Select tips-and-tricks and other productivity topics to help employees get the most from Windows Vista and the 2007 Office release after deployment
