What is Digication Kora?

Digication is an ePortfolio tool that allows students to showcase their work online. ePortfolios are shareable to the public and are accessible to students beyond their time at UArizona. Beginning in Fall 2024, all new ePortfolios will be created using Digication's newest version known as Digication Kora.

What's Changed?

Digication Kora features a few refined processes both for instructors and learners. If you are familiar with Digication's Classic experience, the user interface will appear largely unchanged. The most important new and/or improved features include:

• Easier ePortfolio submission and sharing process for learners.
• With Digication Assignments, students can now submit either draft or published work in a single step without the need to configure sharing permissions.
• Assignments can now include templates and prompts to help students get started more easily.
• Submissions can be shared with classmates for peer feedback.

Importantly, all ePortfolios and courses created with Digication Classic will continue to be accessible to all users. Only new ePortfolios will be created using Digication Kora.

To get started, access Digication in one of two recommended ways:

• Select the Digication link in the UA Tools menu in the navbar of your course site in Brightspace. If the navbar has been altered from the default, this link may not exist.

• Locate a link to Digication in the Content area of your course site. Access Content via the navbar in your course site. Locate the Digication ePortfolios topic link and select it.  If you can’t locate a link, use the Search box to find it and/or contact your instructor.
