Those unsatisfied with these lists can find many more on the Internet. A meta-glossary (list of glossaries) is at http://www.uwex.edu/disted/glossary.html – and there is a marvellous multilingual glossary of “open and distance learning” terms at http://stoner.phys.uaic.ro/idesc/glossary/.

SAGE has a comprehensive list of glossaries and encyclopedias under development, several of which are of relevance to our glossary work. See in particular 21st Century Education: A Reference Handbook by Thomas L. Good and the SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences edited by Larry E. Sullivan (use the link given earlier in the paragraph).
