## Understand how your students engage with their list

Leganto allows you to view how students in your course engage with lists as a whole, as well as individual items.

Students can also engage with items in the list by marking them as *Done*.

Analytics are available for both the list and items in the list:

- *Active students* – indicates how many unique individuals interacted with the record for an item, or with a list.
- *Students who viewed full text* – indicates how many students viewed the full text of the item. This includes watching videos.
- *Students who marked as done* – indicates how many students marked an item in the list as *Done*.
- *Number of loans* – indicates how many times a physical item was borrowed from the Library.

To access the list analytics, click on the *Analytics* button on the right-hand side pane of the list.

## Increase your students' engagement with their list

There are various ways to increase students' engagement with your Leganto list:

- Keep to a reasonable number of resources. A long list might overwhelm students.
- Check the analytics available in Leganto and remove items where engagement has been low, or add annotations to encourage students to use them.
- Align the resources with your learning activities. It is important that students understand why an item is on the list.
- You can use a *Public note* to communicate with students about, for example, which pages of a book or chapter to read, or the context of the reading.
- Use tags to signal whether readings in your list are Mandatory/Required or Optional/Recommended.

To add a tag or public note to an item, see [Edit your list – Use tags and notes](http://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/course-resources-with-leganto/edit-list#use_tags).
