A link for an example of both good and bad reasons for compiling an e-portfolio is:

This example was a good example because the students in the article found that this was a successful project because it empowered them to try new technology (transformational learning) that they had not used before and it was a very useful tool in compiling information/documentation that could be used to make assessments.
This is also a bad example of an electronic portfolio because the project did not have a conclusive outcome that indicated a permanent change in behavior would occur for those that were involved in using e-portfolios. Lack of time was a very big issue and continued lack of understanding/knowledge of how to most effectively use the technology necessary for a portfolio project.
I would venture a guess that there will be pros and cons to all electronic portfolio projects.
