The Audio Glossary Project is the result of a request from Dr. Lesley Lovett-Doust of the Biology department.  Lesley wanted a web–based version of the glossary that had come from one of her course text books. 

Between Don and Lesley came the idea of making it an audio glossary.

Terry Collins, Assistant Application Developer at CFL, created this glossary using Flash MX^®.  Students could hear the terms being pronounced and read the term’s definition.  The glossary is searchable by letter and term.  The current glossary being used contains 492 terms, definitions and audio files.  Lesley has already contacted us about creating another glossary for an additional course.  The glossary has also been submitted by Gail Johnson of the Centre for Flexible Learning to be considered for an award.

Its design, like most others is template-like in nature.  This means that with a minimal amount of work, the glossary can be rebuilt for other purposes.
