My terms for glossaries

In a project's library, in the section My terms, you can find the list of terms and expressions that you can use to create glossaries. This list of terms will be available to use in all the quizzes in a given project. You choose terms from this list when you want to prepare a glossary for any specific quiz (see).

When the quiz is published, a tab will be added to bar at the top of the page giving access to the Glossary at the end of the quiz. What's more, in every text input box, the glossary's terms and expressions are highlighted; when respondents move their cursor over a highlighted term, they will be able to see its definition in a window containing either text or a media file.

At the top of the Netquiz Web page, click on Library, then, in the menu on the left beneath the title Library, click on My terms.

The columns in the list are as follows:

Code: A unique code number assigned by Netquiz Web when the term is saved.

Term: A word or expression that you wish to highlight within the text of a quiz.

Variations: Other forms associated with the term. This can include synonyms or other grammatical forms (spelling variations, number, etc.). Unlike the glossary terms, the variations are not highlighted in the text.

Definition: This is the content the respondent will see that explains the term. Click on the appropriate radio button to enter the content.

Add text: Enter the text for the definition.

Add an image: Insert an image file saved in your library or imported from another location.

Add an audio file: Insert an audio file saved in your library or imported from another location.

Add a video: Insert a video file saved in your library or imported from another location.

Note: Comment related to a term when it was created or modified. The content of this field is not visible in the published quiz. This is used to write notes to help you manage the content or for collaboration with a colleague. It can help identify an item that you wish to note (such as something to check, complete, check copyrights for, etc.).
Modification date: Date and time that the term was last saved.
