Digication Announces New Assessment Management System: A Solution for Tracking, Comparing, and Reporting on Student Progress and Performance

Providence, R.I. – August 4, 2008 – Digication™, Inc., a leading provider of e-Portfolios, today announced its release of a new web-based Assessment Management System (AMS) for tracking, comparing, and reporting on student progress and performance in grades K through12 and in schools of higher education. The Digication AMS integrates tightly with the company’s award-winning e-Portfolio system, providing students with an online learning community to easily record, publish, and archive learning outcomes using customizable, media-friendly templates.

Faculty and students at more than 2,000 schools use the Digication e-Portfolio solution. The web-based e-Portfolios enable educators and students to share ideas and achievements, improve communication, and expand the educational experience beyond the classroom. With Digication, teachers can easily archive assessments of classroom progress for future reference. Students can use e-Portfolios as a workspace for learning and to showcase work for all to see.

“In the past, Digication e-Portfolios were commonly thought of as a tool for schools to build learning communities and for students to create interactive resumes,” said Jeffrey Yan, CEO of Digication. “The new assessment management system brings increased benefits by correlating student work to standards and institutional goals via assessment.”

Educators have modeled the Digication AMS from the ground up with a strong focus on assessment for learning through both summative and formative assessment. The system gives faculty and administrators the tools they need to assess a class, department, or institution based on their standards, goals, or objectives. A flexible and unique “workflow builder” enables users to adapt the software to the way learning happens at the school, rather than requiring teachers to change.

Major features of the Digication AMS include:

Flexible Workflows: Tailor assignments, evidence, and assessment requirements based on a specific program or on course processes and specifications. Use the Digication AMS as a stand-alone system or integrated with Digication e-Portfolios.

Rubric Builder: Easily apply rubrics, either by building them from scratch or using existing rubrics from a school-specific library. Rubrics enable users to customize each assessment criterion and the level of achievement for that criterion.

Standards/Goals Manager: Create customized sets of standards, goals and objectives to facilitate mapping of standards to outcomes. Retain and use each set of standards or goals for assessment through a school-wide library.

Formative and Summative Assessment: Facilitate formative assessment (via written feedback) and summative assessment (via rubric) for any piece of student work. Faculty can create assignment workflow that includes peer review or self-reflection as well as faculty review. Use rubrics for all summative assessments, with the ability to correlate student work to standards or institutional learning goals.

Reporting: Customize reporting based on school-wide or departmental requirements for managing, aggregating, and presenting assessment results. Schools and departments can use reports for accreditation, data analysis, and curriculum development.

“This new assessment management system has been under rigorous research and development involving educators from institutions across the U.S. and experts in the field of e-Portfolios,” CEO Jeffrey Yan added. “We believe we’ve developed a solution that will change the way assessments are done, making them easier and more effective. This will ultimately facilitate student learning and achievement while showcasing proficiency.”

The Digication AMS will be made available as an option to all existing “K-12 School & District Edition” and “Higher Ed Campus Edition” customers.

Digication Partners with Whipplehill to Provide e-Portfolios for Independent Schools:
Partnership Enables Schools to Integrate e-Portfolios with Whipplehill's Solutions


Digication™ Inc., a leading provider of e-Portfolios, today announced that it has partnered with Whipplehill Communications, Inc., the leader in independent school software systems, to provide its customers with e-Portfolios for students and teachers to showcase work, collaborate on projects and prepare for college admissions.

Providence, RI (PRWEB) July 7, 2008 -- Digication™ Inc., a leading provider of e-Portfolios, today announced that it has partnered with Whipplehill Communications, Inc., the leader in independent school software systems, to provide its customers with e-Portfolios for students and teachers to showcase work, collaborate on projects and prepare for college admissions.

WhippleHill has been helping advance and market private and independent schools through content-management software and award-winning Web designs since 1998, serving more than 300 schools in 30 states, Canada, Europe and Asia. Adding Digication's e-Portfolio solution to Whipplehill's market-leading Podium product, will provide schools a rich and easy to use e-Portfolio platform for classroom, project, college-prep and marketing purposes.

The partnership with Digication will enable WhippleHill customers to seamlessly integrate and display student work on their portals using Digication's e-Portfolios. Using a single sign-on to access e-Portfolios, students can upload illustrations, poetry, short stories, papers, photography, PDFs, HTML, video and Flash projects. A channel in Whipplehill's Podium can pull student portfolios to display thumbnail images on the portal, increasing exposure to student work.

"The idea of e-Portfolios has long been discussed by our clients, but so far we've never had the opportunity for such an integrated solution, where portfolios can be made this easily," Travis Warren, president of WhippleHill, said. "The potential rewards reach beyond the work students have produced in class. From what we can tell, more and more colleges are looking for precisely this in their admission decisions."

More than 2,000 schools have deployed the Digication e-Portfolio solution. Its Web-based e-Portfolios allow educators and students to share ideas and achievements, improve communication and expand the educational experience beyond the classroom. With Digication, teachers can easily archive classroom progress for future reference. Students' work can be published to the Web to be shared with other students and family members. Since Digication is easy to use, teachers and students can instantly become engaged in building an e-Portfolio and work towards college acceptance.

"We're excited about the opportunity to partner with a clear leader in independent school software systems," says Jeffrey Yan, CEO of Digication. "To look at the current generation of learners - their culture, their lifestyles, their needs - we know that they are already engaged in many social networks and communities online outside of school. The idea of a community is not foreign to them. e-Portfolios will help build a rich and engaging online community that is based on authentic work and will provide additional motivation, better engagement and hopefully even better work."

Davis Publications First to Add its e-Textbooks;Two Public School Districts Already Reaping the Benefits
PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digication™ Inc., a leading provider of e-Portfolios, today announced that it has partnered with Davis Publications, the leader in art education textbooks, to combine the power of e-Portfolios and Web 2.0 technologies with the content found in traditional textbooks. Teachers will now be equipped with an easy-to-use tool to enhance their own teaching and planning, while also showcasing their students’ accomplishments and enhancing their development of 21st century skills.

Davis is the first textbook publisher to offer its art textbooks online through Digication in the integrated e-Textbook format. Educators who choose a combined e-Portfolio and e-Textbook solution will experience a powerful new way of teaching. Teachers can use the Digication platform to access the Davis e-Textbooks, and create and customize their lesson plans and course curriculum based on the material. Lesson plans can be broken out by days, weeks, content, assignments, discussions and more—all pulling from the Davis content library with standard guides. Davis and Digication chose Texterity, the leading provider of digital editions of printed materials, to provide the e-Textbook technology services.

“Digication made it easy to transition our printed textbooks into digital e-Textbooks that are connected directly to e-Portfolios and professional learning communities for teachers and students,” said Wyatt Wade, president of Davis Publications. “Combining e-Textbook content with the e-Portfolio environment allows teachers to showcase the value of their work in the classroom, including the standards and concepts being covered.”

More than 1,500 schools have deployed the Digication e-Portfolio solution. Its Web-based e-Portfolios allow educators and students to share ideas and achievements, improve communication and expand the educational experience beyond the classroom. With Digication, teachers can easily share customized curriculum with other teachers, principals and administrators across the school district. Substitute teachers can even leverage the tools to continue teaching a lesson plan without interruption. Students’ work can be published to the Web to be shared with other students and family members. Lesson plans and resulting student accomplishments can be archived for future reference.

Omaha Public Schools (37 elementary schools) in Nebraska, and Shawnee Mission School District (73 elementary schools) in Kansas, are among the first districts in the United States to deploy the Davis e-Textbook solution on Digication. Administrators and art teachers within Omaha and Shawnee Mission are benefiting from the combined solution. For example, art teachers at Omaha previously loaded carts with 15-20 textbooks and wheeled them from one classroom to the next. Now with the Davis e-Textbooks on Digication, teachers can simply use a laptop and a projector.

“The system is so simple to use that even teachers with limited computer skills are able to customize this high quality e-Textbook curriculum into their own class schedules, then showcase their students’ finished artwork through e-Portfolios for parents, grandparents, friends and district administration,” said Angela Fischer, supervisor of Art Education at Omaha Public Schools.

Teachers are already reporting improvements during the learning process: the Davis e-Textbooks on Digication enable the entire class to focus on a large visual projection of complete pages of the books, distinct areas of the pages or even to zoom in on individual images. This creates a focused environment that can enable students to learn more efficiently as one unit and help deter students from getting distracted. In addition, the digital solution is helping teachers ‘behind the scenes.’ Normally, teachers would only have the opportunity to meet a few times each school year to discuss a mutual student’s strengths and weaknesses. The Digication e-Portfolio solution provides a daily visual snapshot of where a student stands academically and allows teachers to share information seamlessly.

Digication Surpasses 1,000th School Milestone in First Academic YearThe Boston Community Leadership Academy Honored as 1,000th School; Senior Capstone Project Showcases Power of e-Portfolios in the Classroom

Providence, RI - July 9, 2007 - The students and teachers of the Boston Community Leadership Academy (BCLA) in Brighton, MA, are pioneering an educational trend to publish projects to the Internet with e-Portfolios. BCLA last month became the milestone 1,000th school working with Digication, an entirely new concept in educational software and web publishing that is Simple by Design. With no training required, and no budget approval necessary (Digication is free for up to 1,000 students at any U.S. school), four senior history classes at BCLA began using Digication's web-based e-Portfolio solution immediately-highlighting an impressive Senior Capstone project where more than 60 students published and archived this culmination of their high school work to the Internet (http://bcla.digication.com/BCLAcapstoneclass/Home/).

"When we launched Digication at the start of the school year, our handful of pilot project schools had shown the simple yet powerful approach to integrating technology in the classroom was effective, but closing the academic year with widespread adoption by users at more than 1,000 schools exceeded even our loftiest expectations," said Jeffrey Yan, CEO of Digication and an educator at several New England universities. "Students and teachers are starved for effective technology that can motivate students and drive a more collaborative learning process. By filling that need, Digication is now creating online learning communities at schools in nearly every state across the nation."

Digication is centered around the creation, publication, discussion and archiving of educational content to the web with dynamic e-Portfolios. Simple by Design, users can skip the typical roadblocks of learning a new technology, and jump right into benefiting from the significant impact that customized technology can have upon today's learning experience.

"The Senior Capstone project was an opportunity for my students to ask important questions about the community they live in and develop significant answers. Digication provided an amazing opportunity to showcase the lessons learned and share their experience with the entire school community, as well as future classes," said James Liou, the senior history teacher, BCLA. "We've understood the opportunity the Internet presented as a medium to learn and reflect, but learning to build a web page is a time consuming task. With Digication, many students immediately said, 'I can do this' or 'I like this' and were excited by the opportunity to incorporate their personality into their e-portfolio."

"Before Digication in my previous years of teaching, the year would often end and I would be left with a lot of exemplary work without a way to effectively archive and share it," continued Liou. "But now each student's project can keep on living on the Internet for others to learn from and appreciate, and ideally, for their ideas of community change to become known and valued."

Recognizing BCLA as the 1,000th Customer
Digication is honoring the Boston Community Leadership Academy as the 1,000th school to sign-up and leverage their web-based software, with the gift of the Digication Admin Tool for one full year. The Digication Admin Tool empowers administrators to leverage the free Digication e-learning software with customization and enhanced management features.

With BCLA having so quickly integrated Digication so deeply into classrooms to enhance the learning experience, Digication chose to provide the Admin Tool as a gift that will help teachers and administrators get even more out of Digication as they plan for the next academic year. The gift is an enhancement to Digication's core e-Portfolio and online classroom/community solution, which remains free for up to 1,000 users at any U.S. accredited school.

The presentation of a plaque commemorating BCLA as the 1,000th customer took place in June, with Digication President Kelly Driscoll and CEO Jeffrey Yan visiting the school in person to interact with the teachers and learn first-hand how students are benefiting from Digication as a motivating and collaborative enhancement to BCLA's classrooms. Photos of the visit are available on Digication's Web site at www.digication.com.

Publishing Student Work for the World to See
Digication's e-Portfolios give students the tools to publish within the framework of their achievements, aspirations, educational experiences, and extra-curricular activities. The process of creating an e-Portfolio not only gives students an opportunity to build necessary technology skills, but also provides an excellent opportunity for acknowledging their strengths, recognizing areas for improvement, setting goals and marking milestones. They are powerful tools for learning and reflection and can provide dynamic platforms for sharing and collaboration to enhance the learning experience.

The Boston Community Leadership Academy is one of the Boston public pilot schools. It offers a rigorous college preparatory program with college acceptance as a graduation requirement, while focusing on developing future scholar leaders through community service learning and adherence to rigorous academic, social and civic expectations. Courses include AP classes, world languages, and arts. Seniors take part in their Capstone projects requiring action research in their communities. All students present portfolios and exhibitions to demonstrate mastery in their coursework. Students also have a voice as members of Student Government, Governing Board and Leadership Team.

Each year students from BCLA assemble and defend portfolios to present their year's work in final assessments. Digication was the perfect compliment to expand this established practice from a print portfolio that could be shared in a one-to-one environment, to a more dynamic, interactive web publishing environment that empowered the school community to share and learn from each individual project. It also acts as an archive, which helps educators document and track work for accreditation and other standards requirements.

The new one-to-many aspect of showcasing BCLA senior capstone projects with Digication extends the reach of student's work far beyond even the school community. Mr. Liou chose to publish his Senior Capstone Class portfolios to the public as well, and they can be viewed by anyone on the web at: http://bcla.digication.com/BCLAcapstoneclass/Home/.

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.
