Reading List Guide: Accessing Reading List

Accessing Reading List in Blackboard (if Reading List is not already a section in the unit content/menu)

1) In your BB Ultra unit, select Unit Tools

2) Select the (+) symbol to add Reading List to your Unit Content. If the tool is not visible, select Browse All Unit Tools.

If you select the word "Reading List' instead of the (+) symbol, you open up Reading List and you can create a Reading List, but Reading List is not added to your unit content and will not be accessible to your students. 

3) Reading List will be added to your Unit Content. To make Reading List visible to students, unhide it by clicking on the crossed out eye. 
4) To create a new Reading List or to edit an existing Reading List, simply click on Reading List.  

 

1) In BB Original, select Add menu item (+) and select Tool Link from the drop down menu.

2) In Add Tool Link use Reading List as the Name, to ensure that the same name is used across all CDU units.

Select Reading List as the Type.

Tick the box Available to Users - once the unit opens, the Reading List will be accessible to students. If you don't want the Reading List visible once the unit opens, do not tick the box Available to Users and follow step #3 below when you would like to make it visible. 

Submit.

Reading List will be added to your left side menu. 

3) If you did not tick the box Available to Users when adding Reading List to the BB menu (see #2 above), you have to make the Reading List visible to students. To do this, click on the down arrow behind Reading List and select Show Link

If unsure:

If the drop-down has the option Show Link, the Reading List is not visible to students.

If the drop-down has the option Hide Link, the Reading List is already visible to students. 

4) To create a new Reading List or to edit an existing Reading List, simply click on Reading List.
