Electronic Portfolios (hereafter ePortfolios) were incorporated into courses run by the English Language Centre at the City University of Hong Kong from Jan 2009 to Aug 2010. Experience with this innovation constitutes the substance of this report. Major challenges included: 1) Making the ePortfolio platform user-friendly by providing technical support; and 2) Balancing the workload imposed on teachers and students against the aims of developing ePortfolios. Difficulties encountered in the dissemination of the new technology to students and teachers are also discussed. Findings suggest that the incorporation of ePortfolios into ELC courses has initially been successful in that the ePortfolio platform has been made user-friendly through the availability of ePortfolio templates; uploading videos to YouTube has also successfully resolved the technical problem of overloading a platform. Some students have learnt to monitor their own learning through reflecting on their learning process, but it appears that the process of developing ePortfolios has not been particularly useful in developing students' higher-order studying skills, possibly due to the lack of ongoing teacher and peer feedback. However, were students provided regular and extensive feedback, the imposition on the already heavily impacted teachers' and students' time could constitute a continuing difficulty in making ePortfolio usage a fully successful process.
