Journal

Qridi Core enables you to access a learning journal, which makes recording the learning process and self reflection easy with a wide range of features. As a teacher, you can provide learners with text and video instructions or send them messages via the journal. Learners can reflect on their learning process by writing, taking photos, recording audio files or using emojis. Journals provide excellent support for portfolio-based learning processes.

NOTE: Assessments, Goals, Assessment Train, Journals and Quizzes are not an integrated part of the Qridi Core product. They work as stand-alone features that are available to Qridi Core users. The data accumulated in these features cannot be viewed in Qridi Core's 'Reflection section'.
