Margaret,
Here are some ideas:
Glossary...
- If you want a form, put it in the description of the glossary and ask students to copy and paste it into their entry.
- if you are in Moodle 2.x, students can use the link in the toolbar to add a link to their document and upload it instead of using the upload feature on the page.
Database...
- Yes this does take more to set up, but with a little work, you can get exactly what you want. If you have ever done a form in Word, it would be approximately the same type of thinking for your forms. Your add entry template can be very useful to the student inputting the information with directions that would not be on the other templates. See picture below.
- You might try going to the Activity Examples on the demo site at http://school.demo.moodle.net/course/view.php?id=127 and looking at some ideas. If you find one that's kind of close, you can download the preset and install it in your database and it will bring in all the fields and templates and give you some ideas of what was done.
- Categories should be a separate field, probably menu (multi select) so you can list them and students can select more than one. Searching can be done on any field.
