The glossary activity module allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary. This makes a good formative peer learning / collaborative activity, allowing students to build up understanding and correct use of subject specific vocabulary. It can also be restricted to a list of key terms by teachers offered as an authoritative resource. While the latter use would not provide active learning, a teacher restricted glossary will retain its entrances after refresh. A Moodle course can have many glossaries (eg a teacher and a student one)

Glossary type

Here you can decide whether the glossary will be main or secondary. This feature enables you to choose particular entries from any number of secondary glossaries in the course and add them to the main glossary. You can only have one main glossary per course.
