Moodle<\/a> glossaries are great, and there are so many ways to use them. Content can include everything from vocabulary to FAQs to fact-of-the-day to picture story starters. You can build them yourself as a teacher or\u00a0 have students build them. Glossaries can be displayed as a regular glossary type list, or you can auto-link words to glossary entries or display a random glossary block.<\/p>\n

Here’s a new tool to make your use of Moodle glossaries even easier. The Kids Open Dictionary<\/a> glossary builder now has an auto-export to Moodle!<\/strong> (And this resource is completely public domain.)<\/p>\n

Here are the quick instructions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the dictionary<\/a>, click Glossary builder.<\/li>\n
  2. Enter your list of glossary words separated by commas. Click build.<\/li>\n
  3. Check the resulting definitions. If there is more than one definition for a word, put a check mark next to the definition you want to include. If a word has no definition, you will need to add it. When you are done, click the Moodle button.
    \n\"step2\"<\/li>\n
  4. Right-click the “Click here to download your glossary button” link, and save the file somewhere (e.g. your desktop).<\/li>\n
  5. Go to your Moodle course. If you haven’t already, turn editing on and create a glossary by selecting Glossary from the “Add an activity” drop-down menu. (More on Moodle glossaries here<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
  6. Select the glossary and select “Import entries.”
    \n\"moodle-import<\/li>\n
  7. Browse to select the file saved in step #4.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it! If you have suggestions on how to make this tool more useful or if you have a list of words that you’d like to have prioritized for definitions, shoot us an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
