JOURNALER

Journaler is a feature-rich journal activity module for Moodle, providing a modern, template-driven reflective writing experience for students and educators.

 

Key Features

• Reusable Templates – Create site-wide journal templates with multiple sections, each with its own response type (rich text, plain text, or file attachment), word count targets, and file upload restrictions.
• Autosave & Draft Recovery – Student work is automatically saved as they type. Drafts can be recovered if a session is interrupted, so no work is ever lost.
• File Attachments – Students can upload files directly within journal sections, with configurable file type restrictions and maximum file counts per section.
• Entry Finalisation & Closure – Students can finalise their entries when ready. Teachers can close and reopen entries as part of their assessment workflow.
• Grading with History – Grade entries with full audit trail. Optionally lock entries until graded to manage submission flow. Grading history tracks every change for transparency.
• Availability Controls – Set open and close dates with soft and hard deadlines, integrated with the Moodle calendar and gradebook.
• Modern Interface – Clean, card-based Bootstrap design with entry preview, section navigation, expand/collapse controls, and full mobile responsiveness.

 

Built for Educators

Whether used for reflective journals, learning logs, fieldwork diaries, or structured portfolio entries, Journaler gives educators the flexibility to design meaningful writing activities with clear structure and consistent expectations across a course.
