Leganto | Educational Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC) | Seneca College

About

Leganto is a resource list management system that is integrated with both Learn@Seneca and the library's search and resource management system. Users can create custom course materials lists and add a direct link within their Learn@Seneca course. When building a resource list, instructors can:

• easily search and drag-and-drop library resources into the list
• include other types of materials such as web sites, videos, articles etc.
• organize items into sections that can be displayed or hidden from students
• prompt students for interaction with items using built-in functions (likes, mark read, discussions, notes)
• submit uploaded files for copyright review to the library
• collaborate with librarians and other instructors on building and maintaining resource lists
• export lists into multiple formats (RIS, BibTex, Excel, Word, PDF) for reuse
• view usage metrics for each list

Licence

Leganto is part of the library's systems. You can access Leganto through Learn@Seneca from Course Tools ("Resource List") or directly at Leganto login and signing in with your Seneca credentials.
