About the Journal Tool

A journal, or notebook, is a tool for managing information. A journal is unobtrusive, easily transportable, and works almost anywhere. Use the online Journal to record your ideas, insights, reflections and thoughts.

Please Note: The Journal tool is not a collaboration tool. Journals CAN NOT be shared with other users. Please use the Discussions tool if you would like students to be able to view/comment on other users responses to questions and journal entries.
