Reading Lists

A guide to creating, editing and managing your list

1. How to create a list

If a module is running for the first time or has not previously had a list, your first step is to create one. It's easy to get started. 

  1. Within your Canvas Course click on the Reading List option in the left hand menu or on the baseline homepage.
  2. If a list is not already attached to the Course and associated with the module code, you will see a message inviting you to create a new list from scratch.
  3. Click the button to Create new list.
  4. You will be taken to a new page which automatically populates the "List name" and the module code association. If this information does not feed in automatically, you are able to manually enter the module name into the List name field. Once the details are complete, Click Next.
  5. Click on Create List to finalise.
  6. You are now ready to begin, with an empty list where you can start adding citations.
