Glossary

as far as I know you can't, but you can add the RSS feed to add the dictionary.com web site and place word of the day (http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/wotd.rss) here is the RSS feed.

Good luck

Here is one possible solution that does not require any alterations to the moodle code:

1. Set up a Forum called 'Word of the Day'
2. set it so that all students are automatically subscribed to this forum
3. Turn on the 'Glossary Auto-Linking' Filter
4. Post to the Forum; in the post include your 'word of the day', which is a word in your glossary

• As long as 'Glossary Auto-Linking' Filter is on, and the option, 'This entry should be automatically linked' has been checked, then the word when clicked on will take your students to the relevant section of the glossary.

Obviously, this solution is not automatic, but it would only take a minute or so to post to the 'Word of the Day Forum'. You could then have students use the same forum to demonstrate they understand the word, etc.
