Requirements

The requirements for installing and using the Canvas Learning Journal (CLJ) tool include:

  1. A teacher user role for a Canvas course site.

    CLJ provides additional functionality to help teaching staff design and management learning journal tasks. Students engage with these learning journal tasks through standard Canvas tools. Hence CLJ only works for teacher roles.

  2. Use a web browser to access the Canvas course site.

    The CLJ tool is a browser extension that works with the Canvas web interface. It does not work with the Canvas mobile app.

Getting started

With these requirements there's a two step process for getting started. The following summarises this process and provides links to more detailed instructions (with screen shots).

  1. Install the necessary software

    • Install the Tampermonkey browser extension.
    • Install the Canvas Learning Journal user script.

  2. Use the Canvas Learning Journal tool

    Use your teacher role to visit the People page in a Canvas course site. The CLJ widget should appear just under the Everyone tab.
