Learner-Defined Glossary When students participate in a course by researching ideas and defining them in a common glossary, their audience expands from one person (the teacher) to a larger community (their peers). This is one of the modules that best illustrates the way that Moodle can fundamentally improve upon the experience of a traditional classroom. When students contribute to a course in a public place like the glossary, their ideas are given weight and attention and often result in a greater pride or ownership of the assignment. <li>Glossary items can be grouped in categories. </li><li>Participants can comment on glossary entries. </li><li>Entries can be rated using teacher-defined scales. </li><li>Glossaries can be easily exported and imported via xml. </li><li>Student entries can be previewed by instructors before publishing. </li><li>Glossaries can be fully searched. </li><li>Glossaries can be viewed with different display formats. </li> 1 1 encyclopedia 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 10 Aiken A town of approximately 22,000 in South Carolina, USA.

The only thing I don't like, is the "student" label - I think using "teacher-defined" and "student-defined" continues the authority thing and heirarchy which we are trying to break through as we try to see all participants in a learning community as co-learners. Couldn't we use terms like "Faciltitator" or Moderator and "Learner" or better still "Community Defined, or Collaboratively-Defined, or Collectively-Defined or "Community Contributions" or something like that?Cheers, Sue M. 1 1 1 1 0 Learner Involvement AA Anarchist One who does not believe in rules or order yet contadicts this by trying to be first or formost at things.

Cooling down further will force the water vapour in the air parcel to condensate and thus to become water (droplets).
