Integrating Digication into your Canvas course will allow you and your students to directly access Digication without leaving the Canvas platform. This makes it considerably easier for students to access and share Digication, especially if you use the tool often.
There are two ways to integrate Digication with your Canvas course:
- To add the Digication integration link to the Modules area of your Canvas course, see How do I add an external tool as a module item?
Note: If you don’t have anything set up in the course, the module dropdown item won’t be available. Instead you will be prompted to create a module. - To enable the Digication link in your Canvas course navigation, see How do I manage Course Navigation links?
Features
The Digication integration grants users the following:
- Single sign on capability between Canvas and Digication.
- The auto-creation of new users within Digication upon accessing the Digication dashboard within a course in Canvas.
- The ability to use the Digication dashboard within courses inside of Canvas.
- Instructors can create and share ePortfolio templates with the students in the course.
- Students can create ePortfolios using templates shared by their instructors or any Digication templates that they can access.
