Glossary Manager

The Glossary Manager will allow you to build a glossary of terms, to upload a CSV file or download the glossary as a CSV file from your course. The glossary can include useful terms that may be used for using Blackboard or a glossary of terms for your course content.

1. Go to the Control Panel and select the Glossary Manager link to open.

2. Select the Add Term to manually add terms to your glossary.

3. Type in your Term and then add the Definition and click on the Submit button to add the term.

4. The term has been saved and you can now click the Add Another Term to continue adding terms or OK to save.

5. You can see how the Glossary will look after you add terms manually. At this point you can Modify any term added or Remove the term.

6. To add a file from a CSV formatted document select the Upload Glossary link.

7. Click on the Browse button to locate your file.

8. The file to be uploaded into the Glossary was made in Excel and saved as a CSV file format. It is a simple two column list with no headers or blank cells at the top.

9. After the name of your document appears in the File window go to the Upload File Options section and select the appropriate radio button and select the Submit button.
