Glossary

The Glossary activity enables participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary, or collect and organise resources and information. Glossaries can be:

• A collaborative bank of key terms
• A ‘getting to know you’ space where new students add their name and personal details
• A ‘handy tips’ resource of best practice in a practical subject
• A sharing area of useful videos, images or sound files
• A revision resource of facts to remember

1. On the top right hand corner, toggle Edit mode on.
2. At the bottom of the section/topic/week where you would like the Glossary to appear, select Add an activity or resource.
3. Select Glossary.
4. Enter a Name in the text box.
5. In the Glossary type drop-down menu, choose Main glossary or Secondary glossary. You can select the question mark for a description of each type of glossary.
6. Scroll down and select Save and return to paper.

   See this video from Moodle Academy for more information on using Glossary.
