We are making progress!

The open dictionary has reached a milestone of having 15% of its words defined.
One thing that has helped move it along is the glossary builder, which many people have expressed an interest in. Research demonstrates that explicit instruction in vocabulary is worthwhile and provides students with skills for success. The glossary builder tool lets you create a custom glossary that can then be exported in a variety of formats (text, rtf, wikitext, PPT, ebook) and used as a part of a classroom unit, online course, web site, book, etc.
If all the words in your glossary aren’t defined, you can add definitions for the ones you need. You can also email us your word list, and we’ll prioritize getting them defined.
Before too long, we’ll have enough of a critical mass that we can start thinking about outputting a whole dictionary. :)
