Sample Message to Management

The sample e-mail below is intended to alert management that their staff now has access to a powerful training and support tool.  Communication with managers and supervisors should always focus on how their department will benefit from the cost and time savings of eLearning. 

As with student communication, we recommend that management receive periodic  (i.e. quarterly) e-mails to alert them to new site additions and report capabilities.
