Contributing to a Glossary

Similar to a database activity, the Glossary is also usually used as a collection of knowledge, in most cases an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).  You can create entries and your tutor can respond.

To contribute to a Glossary, see below.

Once you’re in the Glossary page, in this case ‘Frequently Asked Questions about Moodle’, you should see some guidance about how to use the Glossary and possibly some previous entries completed by the tutor and/or other students.  You will also see some tabs to help you navigate and search for entries.

1. To contribute/add a new entry to the Glossary, click on the ‘Add a new entry’ button at the top of the page.
   
   
   
2. An editing page for a new entry will then appear.  Once you’ve completed all the information required scroll to the bottom of the page and click the ‘Save changes’ button which will save your entry and take you to it afterwards.

Tip:  The editing page should look relatively similar for all Glossaries created.  Here I have created an additional organisation tool for you to choose from:  Categories to store your post in for easier navigation.  This allows you search answers amongst categories when using the Browse by Category tab.
