Why
The glossary tool is useful if your course includes vocabulary that will be new to your students.
Use the Glossary to create a fully-searchable glossary for your course. It can contain images as well as text and allows you to create illustrated glossary definitions. The course Glossary link can appear on the Course Menu, the Homepage, or an Organizer page.
The Glossary tool can also be added to the Action Menu of your Content Module. Students can access the Glossary directly from any content page by clicking the Glossary link in the Action Menu.
How
Entries are organized in a Glossary index alphabetically. Students access individual Glossary entries and their definitions by clicking the first letter of the keyword in the Glossary index. They can also see individual glossary definitions by clicking keyword links embedded in the text.
The course Glossary and the Content Module Glossary are one and the same. Edits to the Content Module Glossary affect the course Glossary and vice versa.
Note: If you have edited the glossary from the Content Module, you must update the student view to make the changes available to students.
