Tech Bytes: Updates from Digication, Poll Everywhere, and more

This week’s byte-sized updates:

• As part of a beta testing phase, instructors, staff members, and students can now access Digication in Safari 14.0+. Sign into UVA’s Digication portal and select the Yes, Continue with Safari button to proceed. Contact Digication Support to report any issues.
• Beginning August 30, Poll Everywhere will introduce two significant enhancements: redesigned presenter controls and focused moderation. Instructors and staff members can begin using the new presenter controls before the official release date by submitting a request.

• UVACollab’s system upgrade on August 18 will also include upgraded integrations with NowComment and Piazza, utilizing the latest standard—LTI 1.3, or LTI Advantage—to improve security and performance.
