At the top of your screen, you will still see the Brightspace navigation bar and icons. Below that, you will see the application in which you keep your register. This application is called eJournal.
In eJournal, you always work in a ‘collection’. You can think of this as your register for a module. In such a collection, you collect products in the form of professional products and/or processes. This demonstrates that you meet the requirements of a particular learning pathway and that you are ‘at level’. These requirements can be found on the assessment forms (explained further below).
- Directly below the green navigation bar, you can see where you are on the left-hand side. There is also a back button to navigate to other collections in eJournal.
- On the right-hand side, you will see four buttons:
- Feedback requests: Clicking this button will show you a list of feedback requests you have received from your fellow students.
- Notifications: Here you will see notifications that you receive in eJournal. You can indicate which notifications you want to receive by email.
- Full screen: Click on the square to view eJournal in full size or in a new tab in your browser.
- Profile: Here you will find your profile page, support options, and general help for eJournal.
- This is the title of the ‘collection’ (the register) you are currently viewing.
- Directly below the title, you will see your name, the number of points you can earn with the register, and a button that allows you to submit the entire register for assessment at the end of the module.
- Below that, you will find a number of colored buttons for:
- the different learning pathways ('leerlijnen') of your program. Read here what you will see when you click on one of these buttons.
- the different phases of your project (inventory analysis, preliminary design, provisional design, final design). If you click on one, you will see a description of that phase.
- the name of the project you are working on during that module.
- On the left, you will see a number of buttons that take you to the sections of the register. These are explained in more detail below.
Information per learning pathway
Some of the colored buttons you see (5) are learning pathways. If you click on one of these buttons, you will see the requirements for that learning pathway.
- At the tab 'About', you will see the performance for the entire learning pathway.
- In the subcategories, you will see all the specific requirements for this learning pathway. Some of these have been updated since the previous academic year. The old version states the related academic year (e.g. 25-26).
- By clicking on a ‘category level’ (e.g. Jaar 1 Module 1 PD 1-2), you will see which requirements (4) are set at that level.
Parts of a collection (‘register’)
On the left side of your screen, you will see a number of buttons for different parts of your register. When you hover your mouse over these buttons, the entries you have already made will be displayed. At the beginning, this will of course be empty and you will see ‘No activities found’.
- When you hover over the button with the three lines, the text ‘Content’ appears. You can find an explanation of this below under ‘Opening the Contents list.
- Use the blue + button to upload a new product or add a feedback form to your register.
- Dashboard: your progress is shown here for each learning pathway and you can see what feedback/up/forward you have received (if approved).
- Access & Feedback: here you will find all feedback requests, including those that have not yet been responded to.
- Collection assessment: here you can see how your entire register is assessed. Once the register has been assessed, you will also find the assessment here.
- Content: this list shows the registrations you have recorded in your register. Feedback/up/forward requests and self-reflections can also be displayed here (instead of only at the bottom of a registration) if you select the option Related feedback as a separate activity under Filter.
Open the Contents list
Clicking the ‘Content’ button displays all the products you have uploaded to your register. It also shows feedback, updates and self-reflections, either as separate items or linked to the products they relate to
The buttons that used to be on the left are now displayed above the list. As soon as you click next to the list or on the cross in the banner, the list closes and the Content button reappears.
If you click on one of the products or feedback items in the list, the list will remain open on the left-hand side, whilst the product is displayed on the right-hand side.
Some laptop screens are just a bit too small to show the contents list. You’ll then see that only the icons are displayed on the left-hand side.
In that case, click ‘zoom out’ in your browser (Ctrl + minus sign). 90% is usually sufficient. In browsers other than Edge, you can adjust this in a similar way.
