There is a highly compelling case for using technology on a large scale to increase access to and improve America's adult education and workforce skills enterprise. By the reckoning of the National Commission on Adult Literacy and others, the nation must reach many more millions of adults with effective college- and job-readiness skills programs in the next decade and beyond. The nation risks losing its economic viability, standard of living, and core democratic principles if it does not. The needed reform cannot be brought about without deploying technology on an unprecedented scale. As this paper makes clear, this means the extensive use of distance learning and all of the tools in this nations' distance learning arsenal. Fortunately, this nation does not need to start from scratch with programs and materials. All kinds of content is available as a foundation on which to build and a wide variety of existing and emerging technology (detailed in Appendices D and E) can be pressed into service. This paper offers five next-step recommendations for expanding access to adult education and workforce skills. Appendices include: (1) About the Study Director; (2) Professional Advisors; (3) Endnotes; (4) Tools of Technology; (5) Selected Programs and State Models; and (6) Bibliography.
