Reading Lists Support for Staff

Top tips

  • Make sure your list is published when you have finished! It will only be visible to students once it has been published
  • Link the list to the correct module code/s. If it is not linked it will not appear on the DLE.
  • Naming your list- including the module code in the list name will make the list easy to find 

Adding sections

If you chose the default option and not one of the set section templates when creating your list, you can create sections now. You can choose what sections to have; for example, you may wish to divide your list into different subject topics - the choice is yours, you can customise your list sections as you wish. Either way, it is a good idea to create your chosen sections before moving on to populating the list.

  • If you are coming back to your list at a later time, you will find that all lists you are associated with are showing when you log into Leganto - or you can click the Lists icon Image of Lists icon to find it. Click your list to open it.

  • You will find that one default section has already been created, named "Resources." You can change this name to one of your choice by clicking the three dots to the right of the section and clicking Edit section (see below). Change the name to one of your choice (you can add a description if you wish). You can also use the dates fields to make a section visible only during a specific time frame. When you have made your changes, click SAVE.
