Learning Journal In Rise

I built a cool Learning Journal feature for Rise that has been very well-received. I thought I'd share it in case anyone wanted to a. use it or b. improve on it.

 

The Learning Journal allows the learner to enter text responses to journal prompts throughout a Rise course. At the end of the course, the learner can print their learning journal of all their responses. The responses are saved to the browser so that they persist on future visits to the Rise course.

 

Example Rise Course

HOW-TO Document

Learningjournal.js file (right-click and save)

Learningjournal.css file (right-click and save)

Project github site

I would love any feedback and help to improve the functionality and code.

    Hi All, I'm working with a client that wants to have a journal feature in their Rise course that enables learners to add reflections and other information and then have the option to print or email to themselves afterwards. I've followed the steps in the doc/video, and despite going back and checking everything, my Rise course is still displaying the text blocks. Perhaps there's something I'm not seeing? Or something that changed in Rise? Has anyone used this recently or can help me troubleshoot? I've attached my text entries in case it is useful. This is how they are displaying in the published Rise course. Appreciate any insights. -Lynda

      Hi Lynda! Just in case Mike isn't subscribed since this is an older thread, you may want to use the "contact me" feature on his profile to reach out.

      Hi Mike,

      Thank you! I ended up getting it working. There was a space in the code
      sample between the quotation marks and Learningjournal.js. Once I removed
      the space, it worked.

      Mike, this is tremendously helpful - thank you for creating this tool! Now
      it's up to the team to get it working in the LMS. Fingers crossed. Thanks
      again.

    This Learning Journal is exactly what  I needed. I have followed the instructions. I have created the learning Journal.zip.  How do I get it to show up in my Rise course. I am new to this so I am still learning. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Great job! I have been using a Storyline essay question insert with a results page for them to print from, but Storyline won't save within a Rise course - which needs to be fixed, please -  so once they continue in the Rise course their comments/reflections are gone. Gonna try this and see how it behaves with Cornerstone.

    I would like to be able to populate an email address in the "TO field of the message that pops up. All the other information fills in fine. It's a great script, just needs to fill in the TO field. Can we add a Note block that asks for an email address, allowing the learner to enter theirs or their manager's? Then we can create a variable out of that, and make it fill into the message TO field. I just am not sure how to do it.
