New Year, New Look to Digication!

On January 1, 2020, Digication is changing its look! The  look is different—a bit more jazzy—but all of your content is still there! 

While the core-functionality will remain the same, this update gives the following areas of the platform a look and feel that matches New Digication ePortfolios:

  • The Dashboard
  • Featured ePortfolios and ePortfolio Directory
  • User Profile and User Directory
  • The Login Screen
  • Course Set-Up

Questions? Want a preview? Contact Julie Knudson (jmknudson@wlu.edu) or Helen MacDermott (hmacdermott@wlu.edu) in Academic Technologies.

Meanwhile, continue reading below if you want to know what will look different!
