Glossary feature has no equivalent in Sakai/SmartSite at this time, although a tool may be offered in the future with similar capabilites.

A proposed link titled "Download Glossary as File" could be added to the list of glossary features as shown in the graphic below. The download screen for either method would function like the Copy Glossary Term feature, allowing faculty to export all or only selected terms in the desired format.
Instructions on the screen would include a brief explanation about adding the glossary file to their SmartSite course via Resources. If appropriate, it would also explain that students selecting an HTML file from Resources would see the terms displayed by category in a new browser while an Excel file would require the student to download for viewing on their own computer.
