"The overall goal of Making Learning Visible is to create and sustain powerful cultures of learning in and across classrooms and schools that nurture and make visible individual and group learning" (MLV Home, ¶3; retrireved 2010.07.22).

"Shared Thinking is a 'group-oriented generative learning environment.' It uses technology to create a space in which the diversity of views can be generated and then shared as a re-usable resource for learning and research."

"My interest in eportfolio tools grew out of efforts to solve a very practical problem: how to allow students to manage and share files (especially large media files) beyond the confines of the institutional learning management system. Students were increasingly asking for better ways to collaborate with classmates and share course and assignment files, as well as for the ability to access their work beyond the duration of a single course. My experimentation with with eportfolio tools began with Mahara, an open source eportfolio application. I piloted the use of Mahara with a small group of students to test whether it would meet their file sharing needs. It was quickly apparent that without faculty engagement, students would be unlikely to invest time in using such a system on their own. This led me to wonder if other institutions had been down similar paths. "
