Getting started

Resource Lists facilitate collaboration between educators and the library, ensuring students have access to subject resources from iLearn, including prescribed readings, websites, journal articles, and videos. The capabilities of Resource Lists include:

  • Curation of subject resources: Easily create lists and arrange items in sections, whether weekly or by topic.

  • Link to diverse resources: Link to a wide range of resources, such as books, articles, digitised chapters, open access materials and web resources.

  • Simplified copyright management: Request digitisation of book chapters directly from the list to ensure copyright compliance and ease of access for students.

  • Resource purchase requests: Submit requests for resources not currently available in the library's collection.

  • Enhanced student engagement: Use features, including tags, public notes, timed material release and student discussions to enrich the student learning experience.

Workflow

The steps in this workflow are outlined in more detail in the pages of this guide.

iLearn help

All subject content (lecture slides, weekly powerpoints, seminar notes, tutorial worksheets etc) should be placed into the Weekly Content section in iLearn rather than the Resource List, as per the University's policy. You are encouraged to book an appointment with the Office of Learning and Teaching olt@bond.edu.au to get expert assistance with your iLearn site template and content.
