Journals
Learn more about the journal structure.
eJournal revolves around journals: progressive portfolios that capture all progress related to students' work. From the perspective of a student, a journal may look as shown below.
Three important aspects related to journal content can be identified: the timeline, entries and categories.
Timeline
The timeline (left in the screenshot above) provides an interactive overview of all completed activities, upcoming deadlines and feedback within a journal.
Learn how to navigate the timeline
Entries
All content submitted to a journal is added to the timeline as an entry. Teachers can assess and give feedback on all individual entries.
Categorising content
Categories are used to gain better insight into the progress of a journal in a single glance. These can represent learning trajectories, study tracks, or educational goals.

Navigating to a journal
After navigating to an assignment, teachers are presented with a list of all the journals like the image below.
Each journal in the list is presented with a profile picture, name(s), and username(s) to identify the student(s) working on the journal. Badges in the "to do" column indicate that there is work to be done for the teacher (e.g. the number of entries that need to be graded). On the right side, you see the progress of each journal.
