The terminology used in Canvas can be very confusing, and definitions are hard to find. Users may not know the difference between "copy to" and "send to," or know what the term "item" means specifically as used within the Canvas context. And many users do not know that the "Build" button on a New Quiz quiz means access to everything from the quiz questions to the Settings and Moderate pages. (I don't even know what to call that initial landing page on a New Quiz quiz. It isn't labeled, as other pages are.)
Currently, a user needs to figure out these things basically on their own, through trial and error, or to dig for it in the Community--where these definitions are not easy to find. (I found a "glossary of terms" in a blog post on the site, which was helpful, but short. It didn't include words like "item" or "copy to" as they are specifically used in Canvas. Also, it was only the 5th item that showed up in the search menu with "glossary" as the prompt).
Add a glossary of terms that is specific to their usage in Canvas to the Help menu options of the LMS (or somewhere else it might make sense to place it). Also--make a glossary of Canvas terminology a permanent and easily accessible page of the Community site (e.g., featured in the Reference list on the Instucture homepage, or in the Canvas Instructor Guide, or the Canvas LMS Guides page, or the Canvas page...).
