ENGAGE.EU eJourney Online Help
Introduction
eJourney is an application developed by the university alliance ENGAGE.EU. It serves as the central repository for documenting all learner achievements within the alliance, acting as the memory core of the ENGAGE.EU learning journey. By consolidating various accomplishments, eJourney enables the creation of an individual learning account, supporting students throughout their educational pathway.
Currently, only a few features have been implemented, primarily focusing on staff tasks. However, the system will be gradually expanded over the next three years to include additional functionalities.
Features
How do I register an individual learner account?
The registration process is automatic when you first log in. As Single Sign-On (SSO) is used by your home university, there is no need for you as a learner or staff member to manually complete a separate registration.
The only requirement is that you have an active local account at one of the ENGAGE.EU member universities.
After your first login you will be asked to agree to the Data Policy. Please do so, as eJourney will not be able to process your personal data without your consent.
- Open your web browser and go to https://ilasc-qa.uni-mannheim.de/ilasc/login.php?cmd=force_login.
- Click on „Select University“ and choose your home university.
- Click on „Sign In“. The browser will take you to your home institution's login page.
- Please log in with your username and password and agree to submit the required attributes.
- After logging in, please agree to the privacy policy (GDPR requirement). You will then be taken to the main page of the system.

Step 5 How do I log in?
By logging in, you will have access to various features of eJoureny, such as viewing your learning activities or, as an ENGAGE.EU organisation administrator, uploading files. Without logging in, you can still access the „Course Catalogue“ and „ENGAGE.EU Eco“. Logging in is the same process as registering. However, you will no longer need to agree to the „Data Policy“.

- Click on „Select University“ and choose your home university.
- Click on „Sign In“. The browser will take you to your home institution's login page.

Step 7 How can I display my learning activities?
The feature „Learning Activity“ gives you a summary of your courses. It shows you which courses you are enrolled in, which courses you have completed and which courses you have unsuccessfully applied for. You can easily view the course details and check the status of your application.

- Go to the „ENGAGE.EU Admin“ section in the left-hand menu. If you cannot see this page, please contact the eJourney Team so that they can give you the necessary permissions.
- The system will show you a list of available admin actions.
- Choose the option to upload the course application status. The system will then show you a page where you can upload the course application status.
- Click on „Select Files“ and the file finder will open.
- Choose the right application status file in CSV format.
- Click on the button that says „Upload“.
- Check that the result of the validation is correct.
- To save the file as an eJourney file, click on the file icon at the top of the validation table and then confirm to continue.

Step 2 
Step 5 CSV file layout
You must use a CSV file to upload the course application status.
The file name must follow this format: „ENGAGEEU-HEI_ID-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.CSV“.
- The university identifier (HEI_ID) in the file name must be identical to the university identifier that is already stored in eJourney as course catalogue master data
- Example: ENGAGEEU-UMA-20241112_123433.CSV
The following table shows the layout of the file content that is required. Enter your data in as many lines as necessary after the header line.
