providing an independent assessment of (a) progress made by the Federal
Government in its use and integration of technology in training
programs; (b) how Federal Government programs, initiatives, and
policies can encourage or accelerate training technology to provide
more accessible, timely, and cost-effective training opportunities for
all Americans; (c) mechanisms for the Federal Government to encourage
private sector investment in the development of high quality
instructional software and wider deployment and use of technology-
mediated instruction so that all Americans may take advantage of the
opportunities provided by learning technology; and (d) the appropriate
Federal Government role in research and development for learning
technologies and their applications in order to develop high quality
training and education opportunities for all Americans and (2) an
analysis of options for helping adult Americans finance the training
and post-secondary education needed to upgrade skills and gain new
knowledge.
