  1. Building Your ePortfolio

  2. Option 1: From Campus Connection (http://campus.mcla.edu), follow the Digication Login link and enter your A# and password. Option 2: In your Canvas course, click the Digication ePortfolio link in the Course Navigation toolbar.

  3. Begin Your ePortfolio. Click on the Create button.

  4. Build Your ePortfolio. Notice that your ePortfolio URL is based on the title you choose. Your title must be unique. Click to select a pre-built template, or create yours from scratch. If you want your ePortfolio to be visible to people outside MCLA, select the “Public” Permissions setting. When you’re ready, click this button to create and see your ePortfolio!

  5. The bar across the top of your ePortfolio represents its main divisions, while the left-hand menu shows sub-pages within each division. (Similar to the menus in a word-processing program.) When you first see your ePortfolio, you’re in the Home area, on the Welcome page. You can expand the structure of your ePortfolio by creating new pages and sub-pages, using the Add/Edit tabs. (See the similarity?)

  6. Adding Content: the Basics. You can add content to a page in a number of different modules: text, media, photo gallery, even a social networking toolbar or a twitter feed. To begin, click Add A Module. Select Rich Text, then Add This Module.

  7. Click the Edit tab, then add your text, typing or pasting from another document. Always be sure to Save your changes before leaving the page!

  8. Beyond Text: Uploading Media. Click on the Insert Media icon. Choose the location tab (Computer or Web) where your picture resides. Browse for your file (or paste the URL for web-based media). Choose Alignment (left, right, centered). Make the picture about 100 X 100 pixels (if square). Click Insert.

  9. Beyond Text: Uploading A Document. Highlight the text you want to link, then click the Insert Fileicon. Browse for the document on your computer, then click the Insert button to complete the process. Once you save and publish your page, your highlighted text will be a clickable link to your document.

  10. Save Your Work! After editing, always be sure to saveyour work. When you save your work, a red warning bar will appear to remind you that the changes are not yet published, and cannot yet be viewed by anyone but you.

  11. Remember, simply saving your work doesn’t mean it’s visible – you need to publish it as well. You can publish just the section on which you’re working or, if you have worked on multiple sections, you can click Publish This Page. Once you’ve published your ePortfolio, your professors and classmates can find it in the directory. Publish Your ePortfolio.

  12. Advanced ePortfolio: Media You can upload, link, and embed media files within your ePortfolio: audio, video, and picture files, Flash animation, Scribd … Get creative!
