Brightspace's Glossary Tool
The Glossary is a tool on Brightspace that allows instructors to provide a list of key terms and definitions. It can link to any course content.
To add terms to your Glossary and link them to course content follow these steps:
Click on Course Admin on your course.
In the “Site Resources” section, go to Glossary
Click on "New Term"
- Fill the appropriate fields.
Link the term to the topic where the word appears
- Copy the link of the glossary in the search bar; it should look something like “mycourses.stonybrook.edu/d2l/lms/glossary/glossary.d2l?ou=13373678&nb=1”
Add the link to the description of an assignment, content, discussion, etc.
To students, the glossary will look like an alphabetical list of terms and definitions
