Five qualitative case studies were investigated to understand how E-portfolios impact preservice teachers?self-directed learning readiness and computer technology skills. Data were gathered from the preservice teachers? pre- and post- questionnaires, interviews, observations, and their completed E-portfolios. Teachers need carefully consider how computer technology should be used to further their goals of professional development.
