6.4. Blogs

You can embed content from your journals in various ways in a page:

• display an entire journal
• display only one journal entry
• show the latest journal entries

Notitie

You must create at least one journal in order to see anything in this block.

Waarschuwing

You can allow the copying of your journal (entries). Choose this option wisely because once a user copied your journal content into their portfolio, it looks as if they had written the journal entries. This could lead to plagiarism. However, it can be used very nicely to create templates and to scaffold learning.

6.4.1. Display an entire journal

Display an entire journal in your portfolio page.

Configure the journal block

2. Journal: Select the journal you wish to display. If you have many journals, you can also search for the one you want to use.
3. Entries per page: Decide how many entries you want to display. Entries beyond this number are accessible via a page navigation bar.
4. Block copy permissions: You decide what shall happen with this block when you allow other users to copy your page. Options are:
   • Skip this block entirely when copying the page
   • Others may display your journal in their page
   • Others will get their own copy of your journal
5. Klik op de Bewaar-knop om je wijzigingen te aanvaarden, of klik op de Annuleer-knop om de inhoud van het blok te laten zoals die is. De Verwijder-knop wordt alleen getoond wanneer je het blok op een pagina zet en je nog geen andere artefacten toegevoegd hebt.
