What is a Digication ePortfolio?
Published on the web, your Digication e-Portfolio is a collection of your selected work in BU programs and courses, designed to portray your learning experiences and to make learning visible. The web-based Digication e-Portfolio makes it easy to capture and document evidence of academic achievements, providing support for career advancement.
Portfolios are shareable to the public and are accessible to students beyond their time at Boston University. See our FAQ for more details.
