Staff guide to glossary activity in Moodle

For staff on how to use the Glossary activity in Moodle.

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.
