Digication ePortfolio

Overview

Digication ePortfolio is a portfolio-building platform for schools, faculty and students documenting learning, achievements and reflection. It is best suited to education settings that need controlled sharing, feedback and assessment alongside flexible student work. Its strongest case is the combination of portfolio tools and institutional integrations; setup fees for LMS and SSO connections make it less straightforward for institutions to budget.

Key features

Customizable templates and drag-and-drop editing let students shape portfolios without coding. Schools can share templates across a course or campus, giving instructors a common starting point while leaving room for students to present their work in different ways. The editor can capture images, video and audio through a device camera or microphone.

Portfolios can contain images, video, audio and documents, including embeds from YouTube, Vimeo and SoundCloud. Sharing by link or with educators and peers supports review and feedback, while public, private and password-protected page settings offer useful control over audience. Evidence collection, assessment tools and feedback workflows make the platform relevant to reflective practice and outcome assessment, not just portfolio display.

For institutional deployments, Digication connects with LMS platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle, as well as SIS connections, APIs and single sign-on. Authentication options include SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, LDAP v3, Active Directory, OpenLDAP, Shibboleth, InCommon Federation, eduGAIN and CSV imports. Digication says integrations use encrypted data transmission, role-based access controls, FERPA- and GDPR-compliant data handling, and secure API endpoints. This breadth is useful for schools with established identity and learning systems, though integration setup carries an additional fee.

Pricing

The paid pricing model includes a 14-day trial and a free plan. The Individual Plan costs $30 a year and includes unlimited reflections, ePortfolios, uploads and storage, plus ad-free access. It is the clearest fit for an individual who wants an ongoing portfolio without storage or upload ceilings. The Group plan costs $30 a year and supports up to 130 students with unlimited faculty accounts; LMS and SSO integration requires a setup fee, and AI usage credits are paid upfront or pay-as-you-go. That student cap makes it a defined group option rather than an unlimited campus-wide tier.

Enterprise uses annual billing with custom pricing and includes discounted pricing for programs and institutions, unlimited faculty accounts and dedicated support. LMS and SSO setup fees and paid AI usage credits also apply. All plans include help desk and email support, while dedicated support is reserved for Enterprise. The 14-day trial offers a short evaluation window, but the paid plans are the relevant choice for users who need the stated unlimited personal storage or group and institutional provisions.

Platforms

Digication supports Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. On desktop it supports Chrome, Safari and Firefox; on mobile and tablet it supports Safari and Chrome. Mobile access is web-based, so the platform's mobile availability is through a browser rather than a stated native-app access option.

Who it's for

Digication is a strong fit for educational institutions, faculty and students using portfolios for project-based learning, reflection and outcome assessment. Schools that want shared templates, structured feedback, evidence collection and LMS or SSO connections have a more compelling reason to choose it than an individual looking only for a simple public portfolio. Digication says more than 7,000 schools trust its platform and millions of students use it.

Verdict

Choose Digication ePortfolio if your school needs students to build media-rich portfolios within a system that supports feedback, assessment and education integrations. Its combination of flexible presentation and institutional controls is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a free portfolio tool, or if integration setup fees and the Group plan's 130-student limit do not suit your deployment.
