How do I add terms to the Glossary?
Last Updated about a month ago

The Glossary tool allows instructors and those with glossary privileges to easily add a set of terms and definitions to your course. Learners can access the glossary by clicking a tab at the top of the screen, an icon on the homepage, a Glossary entries section on the sidebar or within the course text, depending on how it is configured.

Step 1: Format the glossary terms

Format the glossary terms in a Word or text document to prepare them for import. Format them as term|definition, with no spaces between the term, delimiter and definition. Put each term on a new line with no extra spaces.

Step 2: Click Add Glossary Term

From the Add Glossary Term page, enter a Term (1) and a Definition (2) in the fields provided. Click Save (3) when you are done. The learning management system adds the item to your glossary, and you can keep adding more terms and definitions in the same way. As you add terms, the system alphabetizes them automatically.
