Correspondence regarding this article can be sent to:scarliner@education.concordia .ca  \nPortfolios are central to the Bachelor of Science program in scientific and technical communication at one large state university in the midwestern United States . At the beginning of the program, students who want to gain admission must submit a portfolio that demonstrates both their ability to communicate in written form and an interest in the field. At the end of the program, students at some of the participating campuses (the program is offered in partnership between the main campus of the University and several of its sister campuses and other public institutions in the state) prepare an electronic portfolio that showcases their best work and that students use while searching for jobs .  \nThroughout the program, the faculty supports students in the development of their portfolios . To help students prepare their initial portfolio, the University offers a 1 credit course for pre majors that helps students learn what scientific and technical communication really is, then explains how to prepare the portfolio for admission. Students learn how to select items for the portfolio, how to describe those items to people who will be assessing their portfolios, and how to accurately represent their work. For example, students are encouraged to include works that they contributed to but not necessarily in a lead role, such as manuals for which they handled the layout and production, but not necessarily the writing.  \nThe portfolio serves as one of the primary pieces of evidence for acceptance into the program. During the program, students are reminded on a regular basis to add other pieces to their portfolios and prospective employers actively seek to view student work when interviewing students for jobs upon graduation. Although no one has publicly declared this portfolio program to be a success, that the academic program has used portfolios for so many years and that both students and faculty actively support it, the program can be considered one .  \nAt about the same time that the University was devising the portfolio program for its program in scientific and technical communication, the state ’s Board of Education tried toredesign the entire high school curriculum around the concept of portfolios . Readiness for graduation would involve a portfolio review . Despite support from the governor, influential state legislators, leading teachers, and the business community, the program was declared  \nan unmitigated disaster almost as quickly as it was launched, and the state abandoned the program within a year. According to newspaper accounts at the time :  \nSuch terms as \"invigilators,\" \"performance packages,\" \"rubric\" and \"authentic assessments\" have been used to  \nexplain the state's ambitious overhaul of what students should know.  \nThe fact that many people may have no idea what they mean explains why the profile is in danger of flunking ( Draper, 1999) .  \nAs these two instances show, although portfolios have great potential as a tool for collecting and gauging long term learning and the competencies that someone brings to a situation, their long term success as a teaching and assessment tool in education is no sure thing. Nor should people assume that, because portfolios are widely used in some workplace situations that they can be used in all such situations .  \nIn this commentary, I reflect on the potentials and pitfalls of the e portfolio concepts, using the other articles in this special issue as a springboard for discussion.
