E-Journals: Reflections and Communication Improve Learning Outcomes

Abstract. This report describes how journaling and email were used to benefit both the teacher and her students on a college campus in Georgia. The report outlines how decisions were made about the content of the journals, submission deadline considerations, and concerns about the e-journal process. Benefits to the teacher/professor are enumerated and discussed as are benefits to the students. E-journaling has been a successful experiment, which, seemingly, has improved the education process for these students and others as well
