Digication

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.

Access the D2L Digication Training Site

Self-enroll in the D2L Digication Training Site (opens in a new tab) to learn about using Digication in your course. This Discover site offers brief introductory tutorials for both instructors and students.

Access Digication from D2L

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 D2L course site. 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 D2L 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.

Note

Students should access Digication for the first time via D2L through one of the two methods above to ensure that the ePortfolios are created and linked to the D2L course site properly.

Digication can also be accessed at arizona.digication.com (opens in new tab). However, we would recommend that you access Digication via D2L for the duration of your time at UArizona.
