Q. Do you know where I can find an up to date glossary of education terms such as: specification; module; qualification type unit?

We have a number of dictionaries and encyclopedias in the library which you can use to look up education terminology - do a search on the Library Catalogue Explore, (or have a browse in the reference collection of the library if you are here!).  If you are a student or staff member at the IOE, you may find some of the encyclopedias in the Sage Knowledge collection useful.

If you are not, try some of the glossaries attached to the official government websites useful, e.g. the QAA http://www.qaa.ac.uk/AboutUs/glossary/Pages/default.aspx or the DFE's own A-Z listing of http://www.education.gov.uk/vocabularies/educationtermsandtags/?q=module.

For further help and advice see our range of IOE LigGuides, including Finding Resources in the Library  and Searching for Resources
