There are two types of export in the database/dataform module. What you need for your students is the ##export## tag which uses the portfolios api and allows wysiwyg exporting to html.
But you can take a simpler approach in which you just need to add css @media print rule in the css tab of the module to cleanup header and footer when printing and then students could print out their list via the browser's print option.
The Dataform plugin allows you to apply all kinds of interesting effects to entries, including practice where the definition is displayed and the student need to select the right concept from a dropdown or type it in a textbox. It also allows you to grade the activity either in the entry level or in the activity level.
