Digication Provides E-Learning and E-Portfolio Solutions to Over 200 Schools in First Two Months
New Concept in Web 2.0 Educational Software and Safe Social Networking Embraced by Users at More Than 200 Schools Across the Nation



Providence, RI, - November 6, 2006 - Digication™, an entirely new concept in educational software that is simple by design, has generated nationwide adoption by users at more than 200 schools since the first of the Company's two products was unveiled August 14. Digication Campus, an online classroom designed to facilitate communication between teachers, students and internal school communities, was followed by the second product in the Suite on September 12, Digication Spotlight. Whether used as a stand-alone solution or to enhance Digication Campus, schools leverage Digication Spotlight as an online digital portfolio and academic social network.

"Being educators ourselves, we understood the budget, training and evaluation hurdles that educators face when adopting technology for the classroom, and designed the Digication Suite as a free alternative to complex, traditional e-learning software. And we recognized that students and teachers alike needed a means to easily publish information to the web with a professional look and feel," said Jeffrey Yan, CEO of Digication. "It's been heartening to see our solutions embraced so positively by educators, bloggers and technology experts. After years of development working closely with K-12 schools and universities to refine Digication's solutions, there's no greater satisfaction than to see that in just two short months, students at more than 200 schools are already actively using our technology to showcase their work, collaborate, share ideas and express their personalities."

Digication Campus and Spotlight bring teachers and students together in a seamless learning environment, an entirely new concept in educational software that is simpler to use, more appealing and cost effective. Digication Campus offers a web-based solution ideal for creating, managing, sharing, and accessing educational content - with intuitive navigation and design so simple, first-time users can just sit down and get started. No tech support is needed, and no complex software implementation or customization is ever required. Teachers can design their web-based classroom and begin enrolling students in just minutes.

Digication Spotlight provides an outlet to showcase academic projects and events with a professional look that is flexible and customizable. Simple by design, users can access the intuitive web-based publisher by visiting www.digication.com and immediately have access to all the tools necessary for creating and managing their personal or group-based website or web portfolio, known as Spotlight 'spots." Creating a Spot is an opportunity to stand out and attract attention to academic achievement and performance, and receive praise and acknowledgment for hard work and success. Digication Spotlight creates an academic network for K-12 and higher education where teachers, students and alumni can create Spots to post their original writing, art work, photos, movies, music, important papers, upcoming events and interesting ideas.

Pricing and Availability
With the ability to access materials and educational technology often determined by the budget available to staff and students at a school or a district, Digication is interested in removing this gap and empowering teachers to incorporate new technology into the classroom without needing budget approvals. With these challenges in mind, the Digication Suite (Campus and/or Spotlight) is available for free to the first 1,000 users at any U.S. accredited school.

Digication Campus and Spotlight can be signed up for as an individual, as part of an institution, or even a school district by visiting www.digication.com.

The Digication Suite is a result of years of development and testing within educational institutions across the country. It is less expensive to run, develop, scale and integrate than any other learning management solution. Users include current students, teachers, administrators and staff. Alumni may also participate, and keep, accounts active upon graduating, without counting against your school's 1,000 free users. After 1,000 accounts, the Digication Suite costs only $20 per user annually.
