Differences between Blogs and Journals in Blackboard
Blogs and Journals in Blackboard look and behave in similar ways. They both provide Blog like features and functionalities. The key difference between the two is that Blogs are shared within the course, and journals are usually private.
All group members can see each other’s journal posts.
You can choose whether non-group members should be able to view posts by group members or not, by default non-groups members can view journal posts of other groups.
