The distinctive tools provided in Journal Zone support individual and group learning by helping students in planning, reflecting and in commenting effectively on the work of others.

As a collaborative tool, Journal ZoneT may be used as a journal for thinking about and discussing a project, to create a project presentation, or as both a journal and the presentation. The product works well either in a lab or within classroom based computers. The software is comprised of a graphics, journal text and comments area.
