Hello, This Mahara journals' behavior was also reported by the Nursing school in Friboug last Monday. Students reported they have regularly created journal entries alongside their semesters (as requested) but have filled them with their reflections on the very last minutes.
Tutors noticed nothing because the forum post doesn't show neither the date of publication nor the last editing of the message. This is then a serious issue whether we want to be sure that students engage on a regular basis with their reflexive journal. I then also vote for this to be changed in the next version of Mahara, if it is possible to do so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

What would be needed is to either display the modification date instead of the creation date (which are the same initially but change on editing) or have both display if different, eg Posted on Wednesday, 8 October 2014, 9:37 AM Last edited on Thursday, 9 October 2014, 19:45 PM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1381228/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
