task. By contrast, student 10,410 entered many terms (243) but did not complete the
optional fields in the glossary (overall percentage was 14.49%), which suggests a
low level of commitment and possibly also little understanding of the importance of
contextual information.
Let us now zoom in on specific glossary fields. The dashboard in Fig. 7.8 shows
that, in the resource field, students primarily consulted content-based resources
(62.9%) like Wikipedia and other types of encyclopedias, institutional websites,
scientific publications, and in some cases language-based resources (37.1%) like
dictionaries and parallel corpora (e.g., Linguee and Reverso). Among the contentbased
resources, Wikipedia was by far the preferred one resource. This type of
profile shows that the group understood the purpose of the glossary and the importance
of extended reading about a topic.
