The official doctrine and teaching of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is passed on or shared in several different ways. Today the most common way is probably through the internet. The Church operates several websites with different purposes, and the majority of the current official publications of the church are available from these websites as audio or text download.
Another popular way is print media. The Church publishes lesson manuals, scriptures, pamphlets on doctrinal subjects, and four monthly magazines. What is published in these is considered official teaching. These books and manuals can be ordered online, purchased from Church materials 'Distribution Centers' across the U.S., or obtained from local congregations. As teachers and leaders of congregations are lay leaders, these manuals and pamphlets play a key role in passing on the official doctrines of the Church.
Occassionally, letters are distributed from Church headquarters in Salt Lake City to the Bishops of every congregation worldwide or nationwide. The Bishop then has the responsibility of reading the letter to the congregation. This usually occurrs several times a year when there is an important event in the world, nation, or Church.
In addition, twice a year the Church holds a two-day General Conference from Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City. In these conferences, the General Authorities of the Church deliver sermons and inform the membership of any new Church policies. This conference is broadcast worldwide by sattelite, radio, and internet. It is also available on DVD, CD, print, and Internet after the conference is completed.

.Catholic AnswerWrong question, the question should be how is the official teaching of Our Blessed Lord passed on, and the answer would be the Catholic Church. .The Church accomplishes this in Her preaching and teaching. For instance, examples of Her preaching and teaching include writings: this would include the Bible, which is the earliest, canonized example of Her teaching, Papal Encyclicals, Catechisms, etc. These would all be infallible teachings since any teaching from the Holy Father, or the Bishops in union with the Holy Father are guaranteed infallible, thus the Bible is guaranteed as the actual Word of God because of the Catholic Church's imprimatur on it..Besides official writings, there would be the ordinary teaching office of the Magisterium, in union with the Holy Father. The ordinary Magisterium in union with the Holy Father is THE way in which the official teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has been passed on from day one until today.
