"By lifelong and lifewide learning, we mean that learning with electronic portfolios is broader than what happens in class or classroom." - Darren Cambridge, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, George Mason University
"In the United States right now there's a lot of attention to students successfully completing their degrees for instance, and several of our institutions are looking at how e-portfolios can help students developmentally work their way toward their degree completion." - Barbara Cambridge, Vice President American Association of Higher Education
"...so where's the proof? Portfolios allow me to document that proof over a period of years, as opposed to trying to construct something for the short term. What we've tried to do is focus on individuals and using tools like the e-folio, in the context of a lifelong learning career goal." - Paul Wasko, Director Electronic Student Services, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
"The English Government has just announced an e-learning strategy which will give all learners an 'online personal learning space' by 2008 which will support e-portfolios. I am working with the University of Nottingham to provide a reference model of e-portfolio by 2006, which will lead on to a reference implementation." - Peter Reese Jones, Project Leader and Administrator, University of Leeds
