Background

In Moodle 2.0 the Journal was removed from the core install, and is now available only as a plugin. For the history, please see this discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=96334

The journal module allows teachers to collect online text from students, review it and provide feedback including grades. The work students submit is visible only to the teacher and not to the other students.

A journal entry is one in which students type directly into a text field in Moodle. A Journal does not allow students to submit any digital content (files), including, for example, word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio and video clips. Journals do not consist of file uploads.

A journal has a 'Days available' setting that controls the number of days the journal is open for changes.

Markers are not notified every time a student submits an assignment, or for late submissions. Markers can choose to give students feedback in the form of text.

The purpose of the Journal

What makes it different from an Online Assignment? How could you use it?

Using the Journal

In the shift from 1.9 to 2.x the help files seemed to get lost. I could not find any really current material, but there are some screenshots here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=257145 (from AL). If you do do a little fixing up of the docs, delete this message. --Derek Chirnside (talk) 03:52, 28 March 2014 (WST)
