Add a Glossary definition to a word

Steps to add a Glossary definition to a word.

Learners will see the word underlined. When they roll over the word, a shortened version of the definition will be shown.

If they click the word, a full definition will be shown in a Pop Up panel above the page.

For courses, the term will also be added to the course's Glossary list available on the Menu of the Course Player.
