Journaling in Canvas

Steps to Create a Journal Assignment:

1. Use the Group tool to create a group space for each student. The number of groups in the group set you create will be the same as the number of students you have in class. (How to Create Groups)

2. Create a Group discussion. (How to Create a Group Discussion)

   • This will create a “discussion” for each individual student where they can submit entries (this area will be their student journal).
   • Only you and the student will see this space.
   • It will automatically date each entry they make.
   • You can make just one of these group discussions for the whole semester or break it down into weeks.
   • All of the entries for each student will show-up in SpeedGrader at once so it is easy to grade them.
