The Learning Journey is a PDF output from Classroom Monitor that is created as one document for each pupil. The Learning Journey contains photos and notes that have been attached as evidence and displays them alongside the assessments that the evidence was linked to.


Learning Journeys are really useful for Early Years, but are also brilliant for documenting exemplary pieces of work that pupils have been captured by pupils work in the higher years of school.
