This system, still expanding, is in part like a career-management system, in which a student's essential data are electronically stored and managed for employment counseling. Beyond these basics,the system also encourages entering assignments and volunteer and extracurricular activities into the portfolio as well as taking exams via it. Beyond that, students can add or create anything related to their education that they wish. Another aspect of the e-portfolio is the instructor's use. Instructors can post lectures and other materials for students as well as enter grades and other details of classes.[4]
