Learning Journal In Rise
Dec 05, 2018
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.

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. :)
Hi guys, this is a great bit of info and it looks really good when I've used it. My only issue seems to be the Print My Actions button. I have multiple sections, some with actions and some without. But it only seems to show my very first section on Print my Actions. Anyone else come across this?
Hi there
I've just tried to run a test file following the instructions, but when I open the .html file in textedit (i'm working on a mac so can't use notepad++) it is empty. If I open with Chrome I can see the lines but can't edit. Can anyone advise how I can view and edit the file?
Mike - Great work! how t remove "Print action button"?
HI! How do I remove the Print Actions button? Thanks!

HI Tracy,
Yes I would be happy to, any time after Tuesday next week. We're on Australian Eastern Standard time here. Can you send me a Zoom meeting invite for a time that works for us both?
Cheers

This is excellent - thank you
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!

Were you able to figure this out? I am trying to delete it as well.
UPDATE (In case anyone else has a similar problem). When I copied the coding for Rise from the .js file, it didn't leave the visual space after each line (and I didn't realize that it wasn't correct.) (Essentially, the system was reading everything as one line of text with soft returns (shift+Enter) in between rather than full, hard returns. I went to the end of every line, and pressed Delete until the next line of text moved to that line. Then I pressed Enter. (Repeat for each row of text). Rise showed a distinct space in between the rows of text. When I republished it worked fine.
Original post: I love this idea and am researching it for my team. But the code is still showing as the text I copied in.
Before I go any further with my testing, the last comment on here is from a while back. You mentioned that it could break at any time due to Articulate updates. Do we know that it's still working?
Thanks. I see that the css file is only 1 kb, but when I open it, it's the full content.
This is great! Thank you

Just a note - Jan 2023... this code works.
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!
Is there a way to have this show in the Review version of the course?

Are you using the email function of this? I am struggling to make it work and would love to get some help!
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace a text box answer with a table that users would fill in? Thanks
