Overview

A glossary is a helpful tool for defining important terms or concepts in your course. For example, if youā€™re onboarding new employees, you might include terms like ā€œOnboarding Processā€ with a description explaining what it entails or ā€œCompany Cultureā€ to highlight your organisationā€™s values. By categorising these terms, your learners can easily find and understand the language used in your course content.
