Student Journals

Give learners space to capture insights as they learn

Private journals for notes, reflections, and key takeaways — right inside the LMS.

Passive content consumption has limits. When employees write down what they're learning — even briefly — retention improves significantly. Tivali's student journals give every learner a private writing space built into their learning experience, encouraging active engagement with the material.

What you get

  • Every student has a private personal journal — visible only to themselves
  • Write free-form notes, key takeaways, or reflections at any time during learning
  • Journal entries can be tied to specific courses or created as general notes
  • Builds a searchable personal knowledge record that grows with every course completed
  • Instructors can optionally make journal submissions a required part of a course

How it works

    Write a new entry at any point — during a video, after a section, or after an exam

  3. 3

    Journal entries are organized by course and date for easy reference

  4. 4

    Optional: instructors can set a journal submission requirement as part of course completion

Common use cases
