Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add a glossary to your course menu, enabling you to provide users with a list of terms and their definitions. A glossary helps clarify key concepts for learners, offering a handy reference to enhance their understanding.

You can add terms to the glossary either manually, one word at a time, or more quickly by importing an Excel file containing the words and their corresponding explanations. This makes it easy to manage and update the glossary as needed.

Example
For instance, if you're offering a course on digital marketing, you could create a glossary containing terms like “SEO” (Search Engine Optimization) and “PPC” (Pay-Per-Click), with their explanations readily available to learners.


Steps to Add a Glossary

→ Navigate to Courses

Click on ‘Courses’ in the menu on the left.

→ Open the Editor

Click on ‘Editor’ in the bottom left corner of the course where you want to add a glossary.

→ Go to Knowledge Items

In the editor, click on ‘Knowledge Items’.

→ Navigate to Glossary

Click on ‘Glossary’.

→ Create the Glossary

Enter the desired name for your new glossary. For clarity, you could name it 'Glossary'. Select ‘Glossary’ from the dropdown menu and click on ‘Create’.

→ Add Words to Your Glossary

Go to the new menu item you just created and click on the ‘View’ button to start adding words.

→ Add a Word

Click on the ‘Add Word’ button.

Note: You can only add one word at a time.
