The document discusses how to create and populate a database or glossary activity in Moodle. It describes how the database activity allows building a bank of record entries on any topic that can include various media types. It also explains how a glossary activity creates a dictionary-like list of definitions. The document then provides steps to create these activities, add fields, and populate them by manually adding individual entries or uploading a CSV file where each record is on a separate line separated by delimiters.
