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, thanks again to Mike Amelang for developing and sharing this great tool.
I have used it previously with a few bumps here and there, but am stumped by this one - the journal boxes appear in the course (and you can enter text in them) but not the question prompts.
If I test it by adding text to the boxes, I can get a printout of the journal and all the Section information and journal entry text appears there, but you can't see it online in the course.
I have tried rebuilding each journal entry using a block template that worked OK earlier this year, but get the same issue.
I've attached the SCORM file in case someone wants to take a look. I have no programming knowledge - which is why I use Rise :-)
Nice!
This is great! Thank you
Yes, I had updated my post to indicate what when I copied the lines of code, it didn't leave visual space between each line. after I copied it again from a different document on the site, it left the space and the code worked. Thanks for confirming to others who might wonder the same thing though.
Mike,
First of all, thank you for providing such a fantastic way to make a "Learning Journal" in Rise360.
Need assistance in removing the "Print My Actions" button from the code so that only the "Print My Journal" button remains.Many Thanks,
Saikat
This is brilliant! A great way to promote that learning is not an event and begins and ends, and demonstrates the true meaning of Learning Takeaways!
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace a text box answer with a table that users would fill in? Thanks
This is a great help! Thanks!
I would use either an Interactive or Multimedia (embedded) block option.
Hi, Mike,
I have been using the script to email a Learning Journal in a Rise course. Could you help getting the email address populated into the "TO" field in the message that pops open in the email client (after selecting the Email Learning Journal button)?
