Log irb output to file?

I'm taking the Ruby Basics courses and getting familiar with irb. Instead of using workspaces, I compiled and installed ruby locally on my Linux computer. I would like to log the Input/Output of my irb sessions to a file so I can review them later and master what I've learnt. Is this possible?
