Overview

Journal LX is blogging tool that integrates with your learning management system to allow students and instructors to create rich media journals within their courses.

What can Journal LX be used for?

• Engaging students in reflective writing
  

  With Journal LX, instructors can create private journals in which their students can reflect on the course readings and discussions and other learning experiences. Reflective journaling provides students with insight into their assumptions and how they think, and it provides instructors with insight into their students' growth within the course. Using Journal LX as a reflective writing tool allows students to learn through reflection, and instructors to gain insight into their students' learning experiences and provide valuable, individualized feedback.

 

• Sharing work for peer review and feedback

  Journal LX can be configured for group access, allowing students to learn through peer review. Students can post work in their journals for review, and they can provide comments and suggestions to their peers on their work, allowing them to learn from both feedback on their own work and critiquing the work of others.

 

• Encouraging creativity and group work

  Journal LX allows groups of students to engage in written debates and discussions of course topics and concepts. Through group blogging, students sharpen their critical thinking and rhetorical skills, and they are able to exercise creativity by incorporating multimedia to make their contributions to the discussion stand out.
