Wiki+Glossary

Return to Guide to New and Revised Activities




 * This activity of an online Wiki Glossary was added because it is welcoming, supportive and encouraging for the students. If the students participate they can gain extra points. It allows the students to identify and define technological terms that are challenging for them. The interactive Wiki Glossary will be helpful in providing a framework for all students to look for definitions of terms quickly and conveniently rather than searching through numerous discussion boards.**
