How can we help
you today?

1. Open j2journal from your Launchpad.

2. Click “New Journal” to begin.

3. Select a class from the dropdown list.

   • Registration classes appear in green.

   • Teaching classes appear in purple.

4. Name the class. This should be a name pupils and parent will recognise (i.e Class 1, Class 1 2025/6, C1, etc)

5. Enable parental contributions or comments (if available).

   • These options depend on your school settings.

   • To adjust settings school-wide, see:
     Managing j2journal options in the dashboard.

6. Click “Create” to finish your journal setup.

7. Add learning content to your journal.

   • For detailed steps, see:
     How to add content to j2journal.

Tip: j2journal is designed for one journal per class, with groups organised into folders.

However, if you need a journal for a smaller group, you can create a teaching class for that group first. Find out how here

Notes for pupil use of j2journal:

• Pupils can also access j2journal via their Launchpad.

• They can only:

  1. See and add to journals of classes they are enrolled in.

  2. View content they have created themselves or where they have been tagged.
