Oh I haven't been near computer to look at what Greg had actually done. I had thought about including the readings in checklist but decided against it. My thought was that by making available a list of the readings I was giving away course content to anyone who had not paid for the course. That's just my opinion so not saying Greg has done the wrong thing.
Faithlife is making this information available in the course-groups (which are not restricted to owners of the courses) as well - and I don't think this really is a substantial part of course content. Actually I wished the professors would comment on the reading material, currently it is just supplementary.
To avoid any difficulties I've taken the individual readings out, although for me the main benefit of having a Reading List was to check off the readings as I did them. It's not a problem, though: I will try to finish off the RL for this course over the weekend.
Thanks Greg. As I said I'm not saying you have done anything wrong, I just think its a grey area, and at the end of the day we only have a license for personal use. So personally I feel uncomfortable publishing what I see as course content, regardless of what FL may have done in the user groups - it is their privilege to do so as it is their content but what they do doesn't make it my privilege. If they come out and say it's ok then I'd be perfectly fine with it.
I too wish the speakers at times would comment more on the readings Mick, at times they are in direct contrast with the speaker says - that is good because it adds breadth as well as depth to the topic - which is why I see the reading lists as not just reading lists but content - but I do wonder whether all of the readings are actually ones recommened by the speaker or at least some of the reading list for the courses are actually put together by the Logos in-house scholars.

I've just added NT202 — A Survey of Jewish History and Literature from the Second Temple Period (which is an excellent course, by the way). I added subheadings, as I felt that made it easier to follow.
Thanks Mark, and I agree subheadings is better, I wasn't happy with the way i had originally done these and actually experimented with sub-headings this morning with one of the courses and then noticed you had done the same. I've updated a few of the reading lists now to have subheadings, easier to follow and makes much more sense as you dont' need a check box for a Unit Heading, you only need check boxes for the individual sections and quizzes and exams.
I've added the two new languages courses - Learn to Use Greek / Hebrew now and re-arranged all of the subject headings in Alphabetical order which I think as we build this list will make it easier to find a course. The only exception is I've left the Logos Training Courses at the top as I think this should be the starting point for a new user and so should be easy to find.

I completely understand, and didn't take it that way at all and I appreciate your comments.
On the more general subject of the reading in the courses, I am quite surprised there isn't something in the course itself that indicates when a reading has been completed (especially as you click "Done" when you finish it - something like a check mark next to it or changing the colour of the link.
I do also wonder if it's FL folks who choose the readings: I have found those so far to be slightly repetitive, repeating what a previous reading said. I would also like the tutor to engage a bit more with some of the readings. For example, in this course the readings refer quite a lot to the references to the earthquake in Amos, which the tutor doesn't seem to mention at all.
I am, however, enjoying the course - this is the first Mobile Ed course I've done and I've been pleasantly surprised at the way it gets me quite deeply into the material. I would probably like rather longer segments from the tutor, but that might well be the case with some of the other courses.

It should come up regularly on your Logos home page under the three most-recently updated RLs
or in the Reading List pane "all lists" when you scroll to the section "Recently Added" (which in reality gives the Recently Updated lists):
Note that I put your two recent course lists (blue box) into the master list last week so that they won't get lost.
Edit: for completeness sake, here is the in-Logos link.
Have joy in the Lord!

Yeah, that's how I got it this time. But when I'd added those two recent lists, it wasn't there, so I couldn't add them. Thanks for doing so.
