In Rise - Ideally, I'd like to have the last page of a course be glossary terms and throughout the course when you come across a term, provide a hyperlink or better yet a hover tool, so that when the learner hovers over the word, the definition pop up. Any suggestions?
Hover states typically aren't responsive—I think on Android and iOS they divert to touch targets. Touch targets are supposed to be at least 44x30 px, so there might be sizing considerations for the targets/limits to the number per screen, etc.
I don't know much about the pop-up features and how responsive they are, but I imagine there'd be some complexity in formatting the glossary—would it be a scrollable total-glossary pop-up? I can't anecdotally think of what a scrolling pop-up would look like, but I'm sure they exist. But I imagine the UX decisions are significant.
Let me try and give you a visual. You’ve clicked on the ad button and rise for tax. You were writing a paragraph and one of the words in the paragraph you want to define. So instead of defining it within the paragraph. You would either hover over the word, and the definition would appear. Or that word would be a hyperlink that would take you to another section within the course. That section within the course would be at the end. And it would have a list of all of the words that you want to define, the glossary.

Super fascinating to think about!

Rise doesn't include functionality for pop-up glossary terms.
Those could be added if you developed the course in Storyline. Of course, then you'd lose the responsiveness of a Rise course.
Also, as Micah pointed out, "hover" doesn't apply to mobile devices, which impacts accessibility.
