Glossary
The Glossary tool allows instructors to provide learners with important terms and their definitions directly within a Brightspace course. This can help learners quickly find the meaning of important terms and concepts within the course.
Instructors manage the Glossary through Course Admin, while learners access the Glossary through Course Tools in the course navbar.
