SEC. 411. LEARNING ANYTIME ANYWHERE PARTNERSHIPS. Subpart 8 of part A of title IV (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.) is amended to read as follows: Subpart 8—Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnerships 'SEC. 420D. FINDINGS. 20 USC 1070f. "Congress makes the following findings: "(1) The nature of postsecondary education delivery is changing, and new technology and other related innovations can provide promising education opportunities for individuals who are currently not being served, particularly for individuals without easy access to traditional campus-based postsecondary education or for whom traditional courses are a poor match with education or training needs. "(2) Individuals, including individuals seeking basic or technical skills or their first postsecondary experience, individuals with disabilities, dislocated workers, individuals making the transition from welfare-to-work, and individuals who are limited by time and place constraints can benefit from nontraditional, noncampus-based postsecondary education opportunities and appropriate support services. "(3) TTbie need for high-quality, nontraditional, technology- based education opportunities is great, as is the need for skill competency credentials and other measures of educational progress and attainment that are valid and widely accepted, but neither need is likely to be adequately addressed by the uncoordinated efforts of agencies and institutions acting independently and without assistance.
