Managing Glossaries

Margarita Berezyanskaya

Last Update há um mês

Glossaries are available in the Avenue courseware by LINC level and theme or unit. The items found in the glossaries are based on the vocabulary activities in the SCORM and speaking activities. Teachers can modify these glossaries by adding to or deleting from them, or they can create new glossaries and add their own items. It is also possible for glossaries to be collaborative if teachers enable students to contribute to the glossaries. There is also an option to allow users to comment on glossary entries.
