Managing Glossaries

Margarita Berezyanskaya

Last Update 8 days ago

Glossaries are available in the Avenue courseware by LINC level and by theme or unit. Glossary items are based on the vocabulary activities in SCORMs and on speaking activities. Teachers can modify these glossaries by adding or removing entries, or they can create new glossaries with their own items. Glossaries can also be collaborative if teachers allow students to contribute entries. Users can also be allowed to comment on glossary entries.
