ePortfolio

ePortfolio at CUNY SPS

In general, ePortfolios are a learning tool that help students create a virtual identity and track their academic growth throughout a course or program. In their ePortfolio, SPS students reflect on their academic work, make meaningful connections across their curriculum and integrate academic learning with their professional and personal experience. Additionally, ePortfolios provide an environment to break learning barriers by creating conversations around learning that go beyond the classroom.

Current ePortfolio Use

ePortfolio is used across 17 programs in various ways, from project-based to program-focused ePortfolios. Here is a list of our ePortfolio Program Guide (PDF) where you can find a current list of ePortfolios at CUNY SPS.

An ePortfolio created by an SPS student is owned by the student for life.  After graduation, students may access their work directly from the Digication website: https://cunyonline.digication.com

Accessing Digication at CUNY SPS

SPS uses the Digication platform to create and manage eportfolios. It has been incorporated as an external learning tool(LTI) to facilitate students’ access from their Brightspace course. Each user has a designated instruction module within their course to access core tasks and support channels to help them navigate through the platform. Faculty who use ePortfolio in their course can refer to the Digication/Brightspace page on the ePortfolio Faculty Resource Site. Additionally, faculty seeking individual support can access our assistance channels below.

The ePortfolio Team provides technical and administrative support for all platform users. We encourage both faculty and students to seek help both synchronous and asynchronous modalities.
