As an author you can add terms to your course glossary to provide definitions of words that may not be familiar to your learners. The glossary is especially helpful if your course has a lot of industry specific words and terms.

Glossary terms referenced throughout the course are automatically underlined. Hovering your mouse over the word triggers a tool tip containing the term definition.

How to add a glossary term

To add a glossary term:

  • Select the Glossary heading on the left hand menu.

  • Select the Add new term button to create a new term definition.

  • Enter the term and its description into the relevant fields, and click the green check mark to save the glossary item.

Note:

  • All entries can be edited by clicking the green pencil icon.

  • Entries can be removed by clicking the red trash can icon.

Multiple terms can be included in a single entry by separating them with a comma and a space. All such terms will show the same glossary description in the content.

e.g. AC, Alternating Current.

Excluding glossary terms

You can exclude terms from your glossary by placing an exclamation mark '!' in front of the term. All such terms will show no glossary description in the content (unless another glossary item also applies to it) . e.g. AC, !AC/DC
