Adding sections to a list
Sections are used to group items in your Resource List together. When creating a Resource List from scratch you may have selected to create it from a weekly template, this will automatically create sections for each week. However, you can still edit the existing sections or create new ones to suit the structure of the list.
Steps:
- Starting from your subject in iLearn, open the Books & Tools menu and select Resource List.
- Once the list loads, select the Add button then New section:
- Add a section title and description as required.
- Use the start and end dates to optionally show the section to students during these dates.
- Decide on where the section should be created, choosing a position from the Add section menu, e.g. add as the last section in the list.
- Click the Add button to close the window:
- The new section is created and items can be added to it:
More options for sections
From the section menu, there are more options for working with sections, including:
- Edit section - rename the section title, description and add or change the start and dates.
- Indent section - moves section to the right. This has the appearance of a sub section without actually making any functional change. Hierarchy of sections is not supported.
- Copy section - either copy the section within the current list or to another list.
- Export section - choose a variety of options for exporting a section such as PDF, Word, Excel or a reference manager.
- Delete section - remove the section from the list (can't be undone).
