Somewhere there is room for an academic article comparing the the use of journals in learning with today's online equivalent, the blog. Of course, reading this survey of the use of journaling in learning, it becomes evident that the two, though related, are different. For one thing, privacy isn't an issue with a blog: it is published for all to see. But also, it seems to me, blogs are more outward looking, seeing the writer as situated in and reacting to a wider environment. Journals are more personal, more self-directed. A journal about online learning wouldn't make a lot of sense, but a blog? Perfect.
