Create a Learning Journal

The journal can be used to record a sequence of thoughts, experiences and reflections. By default every learner has one learning journal in Loop Reflect. You can create multiple journals by editing your settings. To do this, click on the dropdown arrow beside your profile picture.

Scroll through the settings and change the option Multiple Journals to Yes.

Journalling supports reflective writing which is an important part of learning and assessment. Advice on how to write reflectively is provided elsewhere on the Loop Reflect Resources page online.

To add a new entry to a journal, click New entry. Give your entry a ‘Title’ and add some content in the ‘Entry’ box. The box can contain text, images and links and file attachments can also be added to the journal. You have the option to give your entry some tags demonstrate your achievement of DCU Graduate Attributes, module learning outcomes, or other elements. Simply start to type into the box. For more information, click the Graduate Attributes link on the Dashboard. Click ‘Save entry’

Journals can not be submitted directly to your lecturer however you can drag an entire journal or even just a single journal entry into a portfolio page. To do this, create a new portfolio or edit an existing one. Choose Journals from the menu on the lefthand side. Select which type of journal entry you want to add to the page and drag it on. Any journal entries will automatically be displayed on the page and then the page can be submitted to Loop for correction
