TEACHING INTENTIONS:
As a teaching tool, “Moodle Glossary can be used to facilitate active learning activities that enable students to collaboratively build knowledge by co-creating searchable collections that foster meaningful learning. Think of Glossary as a tool to build collections—using it to build a glossary is only one of its many uses” (Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies, Royal Roads University, 2018, n.p.).
In addition, FLOf participants get an opportunity to explore the Moodle Glossary function from a student’s perspective.
