Committee functions include: (1) 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.
