* to summarize skill levels and document both certifications and diplomas, as well as university degrees,
* to document language learning experiences inside and outside the classroom,
* to document results of standardized tests and official oral interviews, to provide samples of writing and speaking in the dossier,
* to view personalized audio files, video files, PowerPoint presentations, and other media files that illustrate the progress that was made during a course of study.
