Implementing AI in the Classroom

Example course - for content creation

Glossary

Moodle's Glossary activity by default allows course participants to contribute key terms and definitions. As a teacher you can also add your own key terms or you can change the permissions so that the glossary is 'read only', ie, learners access the glossary but cannot add to it.

The dictionary allows you to import an XML file and create concepts and definitions.

Using AI, let's create a glossary of key concepts for the course.

Before creating a course/topic glossary, consider:
  • Style - do you want informal descriptions (for younger learners perhaps?) or more formal (for mature professionals)

  • Essential terms - will you require some key concepts to be included in the generated glossary?
