Looks good Tom. I'm guessing you've gone for a layer based glossary rather than a centralised copy in a lightbox, so the content of the glossary is directly relevant to each page?
Just thinking about version control and saving yourself some work if you ever need to update the same glossary content across several slides.

It's for the whole course but is a master layer using the feedback master. That way, it gets created once for each module and applied in one go. Same effect in terms of version control etc.
Our initial user testing revealed that end users preferred this approach to lightbox. They often missed the included close button on the lightbox screen. Even more, said they would rather have a new window open with the glossary in it so they could have it open alongside the course. This will be what we implement in the final release, using the open-source knowledge base bookstack to house course glossaries.
