For this a feature of “Shared project having multiple Journal Entries(A mini-journal)” would be added under this project. On sharing a project , a new shared and synced mini-journal would be initiated. This idea of mini-journal can be implemented by creating one single instance which has instances of all the activities to be shared.

In short, When users opens the Journal they see a list of mini-journals. When they click on the mini-journal, they see a list of activities that are shared with the same participants under the same project in the mini-journal (same layout as journal today).

File Syncer System for mini-journal:
A file syncer system will be developed which will sync the files when the user does not have the activity running. This system will be further used to alert the user for the changes that occur in the state of shared activity by implementing the alert tool.

A alert tool box with a palette box will be added which can be used as an indication of new notifications or alerts that will be prompted when the state of shared activity changes.

Under the mini-journal feature another feature of adding more instances of activities directly from Journal by just using the feature of “Add Item”. At first the student or user will be forced to title the entry he is adding.
