The work environments raise changes associated with both economic and social demand in an internationally competitive context. The focus of this paper is the perspectives of people, both employers and employees, who are engaged in lifelong e-learning, within the Portuguese economy. It critically reflects on recent experience at a small local institution considering whether complex state-of the art technology becomes a key to the development of lifelong learning practices in a knowledge-based society.
