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
- On the top right hand corner, toggle Edit mode on.
- At the bottom of the section/topic/week where you would like the Glossary to appear, select Add an activity or resource.
- Select Glossary.
- Enter a Name in the text box.
- 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.
- Scroll down and select Save and return to paper.
See this video from Moodle Academy for more information on using Glossary.
