Q.
How do I add a new Glossary entry? What is a Glossary?A.
A Glossary allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, similar to a dictionary. In TLEARN, glossaries can be a collaborative activity, where instructors can allow students to add their won entries, rate others' entries and more. Adding a Glossary entry is very simple, follow the steps below.1. Click the name of the Glossary in the course. The Glossary will display.
2. Click the Add a new entry button.
3. Enter a word, phrase, or sentence into the Concept field. This text will be listed in the glossary as the term. Then fill in the Definition. The definition is for the Glossary entry.
4. Select a category to classify the entry. To select more than one category, press the Ctrl key while clicking on each category. If there is not multiple categories, then none have been created by the instructor. To create reference Step 2, click on Browse by category, Edit category, and Add Category.
5. Add one or more keywords related to the concept (optional). These are essentially synonyms for the concept itself. If the entry is auto-linked, then any keyword will also be auto-linked.
6. Choose a file to upload as an attachment (optional). Click Add...and use the File Picker to select an attachment.
7. Define Auto-linking settings.
Auto-linking is a useful feature of TLEARN that will automatically turn this Concept (and Keywords) into a link to this Glossary entry, wherever this word appears in the course.
Top box - Check this box to have each instance of hte Concept or Keywords within the course become a link to this entry. (A great way to add context to discussion forums.)
Middle box - Check this box to keep case sensistivity when auto-lkinking this entry, i.e. so that 'Bill' is not treaetd teh same as 'bill' when auto-linking.
Bottom box - Check this box to Match only whole words, i.e. a Glossary entry for 'dent' will not create a partial link when the word 'President' is a Glossary concept.
8. Click Save changes.
