How do I create an Aspire reading list for a distance learning module?

  • Log in to http://aspire.aber.ac.uk/index.html 
  • If you have not already done so, create a profile (How do I do that?)
  • Click My lists

  • Then select the button Create new list

    create list in Aspire button
  • Enter the list name in the following format:DSM1810 Research in the profession
  • The description box can be left blank.
  • Click the Select Hierarchy button

select hierarchy button in aspire

  • Enter the module code and select the matching module that appears with a blue background.
  • Select save.

  • Use the drop down arrow to select the blank option for the Semester field.
  • Choosing the blank semester ensures that the module does not go through the annual reading list copy process.

  • Enter the anticipated student numbers (this will help us to determine the number of copies to purchase).
  • When the fields have been completed select Create list.
  • Once the list is created you need to make it available in Blackboard ( How do I do that? )
