David MonllaĆ³'s Journal activity for Moodle 1.9 is one of my all-time favourite Moodle activities.
Applications for the Journal (what's hot about it)
I use it a lot in my Intensive English classes where students have to post a write up of their speech. I can see each student's work, but each student only can view his or her write up. In other words, the student has a private view of his workspace. Very nice. The Journal can also be used by the student to reflect on a particular topic, and the student can edit and modify and refine his or her answer over time.
