Providence-based Digication Inc., a provider of e-portfolios, has partnered with Davis Publications, a provider of art education textbooks, to combine the technologies. Davis is the first textbook publisher to offer its art texts online through Digication in an integrated e-textbook format. Educators may choose a combined e-portfolio and e-textbook system to create and customize their lesson plans and course curriculum. Lesson plans can be broken out by days, weeks, content, assignments, discussions and more, all pulling from the Davis content library with standard guides. More than 1,500 schools have deployed the Digication system, including Omaha public schools in Nebraska, and Shawnee Mission school district in Kansas.
