The document provides guidance on getting an e-learning project right the first time by outlining an action plan that includes identifying high level sponsors, developing an e-learning strategy tied to organizational goals, designing pilot courses while managing quality, and creating a communication plan to reduce resistance and promote the benefits of the courses during the pilot. The plan stresses the importance of support, infrastructure considerations, and using a structured process of feedback to refine courses before full rollout.
