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.

You are given a list of recommended topics with URL links to Windows Online Help and Office Online as well as suggested text for introducing topics to employees.
