A Journal is a tool for self-reflection. A course can have several different Journals, used for different purposes (e.g. one Journal for field experience reflections and another Journal for reading responses). Only the student and the instructor are able to comment on Journal entries. Journals may be kept private between the student and instructor, or made public by the instructor so that all enrolled users can read all posted Journal entries.

If your Journals are set to be graded, Blackboard’s inline grading feature allows you to grade student activity directly from within the Journals tool.
You can easily add a link to a communication or collaboration tool, multimedia content or third-party tools into any Content Area in your course.
