Learning Journal In Rise

UPDATE DECEMBER 2024

Download at your own risk! It appears that Articulate recently made a change that could cause the learning journal to stop functioning. Such changes have happened in the past and will continue to happen. However, I will not be updating the learning journal code at this time. To remove the learning journal, simply remove any STATEMENT-NOTE entries that refer to the learning journal.

E-Learning Super Hero SamHill has created a newer version of a Learning Journal that has more features and is actively supported. I encourage you to check it out here.

UPDATE JUNE 2020

Firstly, Articulate recently implemented a small update to Rise. As a result, all new exports from Rise will need to include the most recent version of LearningJournal.js which is found at the usual link.

Secondly, at any time Articulate could update their code and bring a breaking change to the Learning Journal. Over a year ago, I shared this functionality freely with the community and the code comes with no warranty or support either implied or expressed. If at any time you want or need to remove the Learning Journal from your modules, simple remove any STATEMENT-NOTE entries that refer to the Learning Journal.

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.

EDIT May 2019: At the request of a member of the forum, I created a HOW-TO video below that shows each step of the HOW-TO document in action.

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