Glossary
The Glossary activity is one of the most underrated features of Moodle. On
the surface, a glossary is a list of words and definitions that students can
access. However, a course creator can allow students to add to a Glossary. This
transforms the glossary from a static listing of vocabulary words to a collaborative
tool for learning.
When this setting is turned on, whenever a word from a Glossary appears in the
course, it is highlighted in gray. Clicking on the word brings up a pop-up window
containing the word's Glossary entry.
You can use a glossary to build a class directory, a collection of past exam questions,
famous quotations, or even an annotated collection of pictures.
