Management within organizations should be aware of employee training needs and the availability of face-to-face and eLearning as methods to achieve this training. This single case study explores what factors contribute to a government supervisor's choice of face-to-face training or eLearning training methods. ELearning is learning methods that include electronic methods, such as video or web-based material access. Transactional Distance reduces the distance between students and learning activities to the psychological distance versus the physical distance. Determining the factors that impact supervisor's preference for face-to-face training and eLearning training methods contributes to informing eLearning Theory and Transactional Distance Theory. A qualitative single case study methodology was performed at a government organization with supervisors using a semi-structured interview process, a focus group and field notes taken of the focus group. The interviews and focus group were recorded and then transcribed with the transcripts being verified by two separate training professionals. Deductive and inductive reasoning was used in analysis to code the collected data, with the assistance of quality data analysis tools. Analysis supporting the research question revealed four emerging themes: 1) Production considerations drive preferences for face-to-face training versus eLearning; 2) ELearning technologies enhance production; 3). Employee learning flexibility contributes to production; and 4) Supervisor's support learning and production over ease of management. These results inform learning managers at organizations of factors that influence supervisor's preferences. Future research is needed that focuses on eLearning contributions to production. Research on the flexibilities that eLearning contributes to employees improvement in production may be needed.
