Bring Your Own ePortfolio?

In the plenary session at the ePIC 2012 conference in London, there was another discussion of the variety of ePortfolio tool options and whether we should encourage adults to "bring your own ePortfolio" to an educational institution. Since the online tools have become so robust and easy to use (Google Sites, Weebly), and online storage is readily available (Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive--now OneDrive), the barriers to lifelong ePortfolios are dropping rapidly. We can follow the example of Salt Lake Community College to require students to select from a variety of supported options: http://www.slcc.edu/gened/eportfolio/
Here are their tutorials using each tool.
