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
