Could someone help me? I'm worried that students can see each other's private journal entries. When I go in as a student, I am able to see other students. I checked with my Vanderbilt Brightspace team and they said there is no way to set up private journals - but I've done this for years. I'm wondering if something has changed.
I've used the Groups function in previous years to set up a private journal for students to use for weekly reflections. I use Enrollment Type (Single User, member-specific groups) and then set up discussion topics within that with Group and Section Restrictions (restrict topic and separate threads). This makes it easier for grading. Here is a resource from a different university that spells it out:
