Learning Journal In Rise
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.

Hi all, I have followed the steps and added the necessary copy; however, I can't seem to get the layout right (see screenshot attached). Can anyone advise?
I had this same issue. My CSS file saved as a .txt file. If you change the file extension to .css, that should work. That was what worked for me. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this resource! Does anyone have experience using the learning journal for translated content? Are there any recommendations?
Hi, is anyone else getting the attached error message when they try to upload their re-packaged SCORM? I haven't moved the imsmanifest.xml file. Any ideas on a solution?
Thanks in advance.

If you package the folder by right clicking on it and sending to zip, you will end up with a folder inside the zip that contains your content. You need instead to go directly into the folder where scormcontent and scormdriver are visible, then select all of the contents of the folder and add to zip. This prevents the extra folder nesting.
Hi Mike & Rise Community!
This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing. How long would it take to configure this for a module with two questions?
Also, I just read the update from June 2020. Does that mean, in case of an update of code, the index.html would need to be changed/updated?
Thanks :)

This is awesome, exactly what I was needing for a design. Thank you for the work and sharing it!
Has any one given this a go recently? I would love to connect and trouble shoot!
Hi Mike, is it possible to have multiple journal entries within the same rise topic/section? I've used it multiple times in the past but with one entry only. I'm facing issues with multiples, only the last one of each topic/section is being pulled to the printout.
Hi Emma
I have used multiple in topics with no issues....

Hi Michelle, it's either pulling all responses but the first question only, or it's only pulling the last response and question. I have checked all files and they're correct/up to date. Do you have an example of where you've used it twice and share the files by any chance? TIA
If Nicola's excellent example is still up, take a look at it... It might help you to see another example.
Hi Mike, I have followed your video to a T and can not get this to work. I'm using Canvas LMS and I just see the notes as is - its not reading the javascript at all :( any thoughs?
Hey Laura, any luck!? I too am having some challenges and cant put my finger on the issue
I got it...just a bad PC that was doing some strange stuff with duplicate file names. Super excited about this functionality!!
HI Mike
This is really great. Can I embed this journal to an existing Rise course and if yes, how will I do this?
