Set the Context:<\/h3>\n<p>Together with your organization&#8217;s purpose and vision statements, give a succinct description of it. This gives the vendors a better understanding of your business and eLearning project.<\/p>\n<h3>3.. Describe eLearning Project Goals:<\/h3>\n<p>Next, give a brief overview of your entire RFP eLearning project.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Describe the objectives of the e-learning initiative.

Work References\/ Samples<\/h3>\n<p>In this step, you will ask the vendors for client references to see if they have offered custom eLearning RFP services to others with comparable needs and if so, how well it went.<\/p>\n<p>To assess the quality and confirm the vendor&#8217;s eLearning creation capabilities, you might also request eLearning examples.
