Moodle in English: Journal

Journal

by Joe Griffin - Thursday, February 12, 2004, 3:10 AM

Hi

I'm not sure if this should be in this forum or in the groups forum. So I've put it in both thoughtful

I have 180 students in a course. Three faculty. Students work in groups and each faculty looks after some of the groups. Is it possible yet (or is it planned) to be able to view forum entries from students according to the groups they are in. Today all I could see was a very long list of all students enrolled with balnk entries for most (because they haven't made a journal entry yet). Is this because of the version I have running today? I do know there is mighty work going on approve

, what I don't know is - is there something I'm doing wrong or is this particular facility not available yet. It it isn't has anybody any ideas how I can achieve the above? This is my first course on Moodle.

I'm trying to imagine the screen you are looking at when you see enrolled students with blank entries. Hopefully, you are you looking at the page triggered when you click on the specific journal and then the "View X journal entries" link?

If it is the latter, you SHOULD see student journals (if they are writing them). Click on the log button at the top of the journal to see if your students are visiting the page. If they are viewing the journal but not "adding" journals, then something is wrong. Are you sure the journal is open for editing? You might need to set a longer date on the journal by "updating the journal" (another link on the individual journal page) and extending the "close" date.

Sorry to be slow in responding to this question. If you are curious about the group interface for looking at journals group by group, I don't think that the work is complete on that yet. I'd keep the journal set to "no groups" until the coding is finished.

Yes, it was your final point, looking at journals by group that I am most interested in. My situation is that I have three tutors on the course, each responsible for different groups of students. What I would like is to have each tutor capable of seeing his own groups' journals and not the entries from other groups. I guess that this is not implemented yet so I'llsimulate the journal with extra threads in the group forums.

Thanks
