Take a Page From These Gorgeous Glossary Templates

Glossaries might not always be the shining stars of e-learning courses, but they’re a wonderful way to support learners. That’s because they define commonly used terms, demystify industry-, culture- or organization-specific lingo, and spell out critical software or systems acronyms—especially helpful for new learners.

Adding glossaries to your Storyline 360 projects is already easy-peasy with the glossary import/export feature. But if you want a glossary that slips seamlessly into the flow of your course or you prefer a stand-alone resource your learners can reference when they’re stuck, custom glossary interactions like the ones we’ve rounded up here give you some more great options.

From elegant to minimalist, these four glossary downloads are the very definition of useful. Check ’em out!

• Who doesn’t love easy? This effortlessly easy glossary template from Nicole Legault is a keeper. Created in PowerPoint, this flexible freebie can be imported into Storyline 360 or used right in Studio 360 for an intuitive, customizable glossary interaction your learners will love as much as you do.
• This super-simple glossary template was created in Storyline 360 on a single slide with layers. With its uncomplicated structure and minimalist aesthetic, this template can be easily customized with your own terms and definitions.
• Are you all about creating projects in Rise 360? If so, you’ll want to snag a copy of this handy stand-alone glossary of marketing terms from Trina Rimmer. It uses a series of timeline interactions to present terms and definitions with the addition of media like images, embedded videos from the web, and audio to clarify word pronunciations. And because Rise 360 content is searchable, your busy learners will love being able to do a quick search to find exactly what they need.
• Who says a glossary should only contain words? This sleek Storyline 360 download from Bastien Médard puts a fresh spin on a traditional glossary by using subtle animation effects and images that reinforce important concepts.
