We are Proud to Present the New Digication Library!
Digication has been hard at work to provide you with the New Digication Library—an exciting new feature designed to promote dynamic, individualized instruction and active learning within the ePortfolio environment. The Digication Library provides a space where users may create and share templates with individual students and faculty, course and group rosters, or the entire Digication community!
You can access the Library by moving your mouse cursor to the left side of your screen to reveal the user menu and click the Library button(1) or click the add Content button(2) and select the Template filter to view the ePortfolio Templates available to you.

Templates can be customized with Prompts and Instruction Slides!
During the course of customizing your ePortfolio for a Template, you will be able to utilize multiple tools that can assist you in creating your desired pedagogical structure such as Instruction Slides and Prompts. Instruction Slides allow you create customized instructions within your Template on a slide that is visible only while editing.

You can now password protect your ePortfolio and manage its visibility in the Directory!
Along with the release of the Library, we also added the ability to set a custom password on your ePortfolios set with Public or Private within Your Institution permissions. Also, if your school has set any categories for the ePortfolio Directory, you can customize which categories your ePortfolio will be listed under.
