I have learned that Moodle is going to replace the journal feature with a blog feature. This is good news, I think. There are some questions about visibility and privacy though which I am not clear about. The journal was private between the learner and the tutor. The annoying thing about it was that a new one had to be created for each additional entry the tutor required. But they were useful as potential material for a learning portfolio.
My big question is can the Moodle blog be publicly available? Most Moodle courses are, of course, password protected. If the blog is also behind this password then there will not be much of an authentic audience.
It seems to me that a private journal still has a role.
