Learn how to create an eJournal assignment from within your LMS or standalone.


If eJournal is integrated in your Canvas environment as external tool, you can create an eJournal assignment right from your existing Canvas course.

You can copy an existing assignment to speed up preparing the next iteration of your course, or connect to an existing assignment to let students work on the same assignment throughout multiple subsequent courses.
