Training Opportunities. At its second meeting, the Committee will

identified issues; E-learning technologies and markets; target 
populations and their needs; and Federal Training Technology 
Recommendations. The Committee will also discuss their overall 
approach, timeline, and plans to accomplish their tasks. 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.
