ABSTRACT
It is hazardous writing a book about a practice – the use of e-portfolios – when its development is in such an early stage. E-portfolios might evolve into something unrecognisable today or they might become yesterday’s unsuccessful idea. Yet this is the very point at which potential adopters are most interested in deciding whether the practice has anything to offer them. Fortunately most people who work with new technologies are used to the way in which the language, the tools and the practice change very rapidly. This will undoubtedly be the case with e-portfolios.
