Just a quick live example of Moodle in action - collaboratively building a glossary of terms about a unit of work - I hand out flash cards with a term, pupils use their knowledge, the web and their notes to find definitions.

 Moodle Glossary Collaboration

 The terms you’ll find there at the moment were done by students working at General/Foundation level. There were 4 of them, they did 22 terms. The quality varies dramatically, some are witty and well thought out, some are copied (!) from notes. Some are too basic. But for a first attempt, I’m happy at their level of work. Comments are enabled for the class - the next stage is peer assessment (Two yays and a boo) and discussion of Copyright issues

The best thing (for me) is that I can then turn auto-linking on on the course. Every time a term that is in the dictionary is in a wiki/webpage/forum post/chat/message/quiz - it can be clicked for a popup definition! Go Moodle!
