Is it something very lengthy? Lots of functionality to teach, or something 
more superficial, highlighting just the main features? Will you need to track 
your audience's progress? Compliance? Test scores?

Software simulation would probably be the most effective solution.  Give the 
learning a task to accomplish and let them try it, providing feedback along 
the way.

eLearning is what I do, so feel free to contact me/ask questions offline.

Good luck!
