Faculty: Journal Activity

Authors list

Important Note: The team responsible for creating and maintaining the journal "plugin" for Moodle upgraded it in 2025. As a result, it is no longer possible to import a course in its entirety if journals are present. You can import "Some" and leave the journals out of the import, then either reproduce the journals in the new course shell or switch to using online text assignments instead of the journal activity.

This activity allows students to continue to add to an online text assignment over time. Points are recorded just once, but instructor feedback can be entered as often as you like in response to student reflections.

When students open the link, they can enter their response.
