Links

The "Edit" and "Delete" action links are not unique when more than one term is present.

Add the term as hidden text to each of these links so the link text is something like "Edit: term" or "Delete: term"

Page Structure / Markup

The level 3 heading before the terms table says "Manage Glossary" even when the user doesn't have any permissions to edit or delete (such as in the student view).

Change the heading to "Glossary Listing"

Minor

Tables

Table Summary is misleading.

Table summary should indicate why the terms appear as links and what happens when the link terms are activated (a new window appears with the term's long description). Also the table summary should explain that action links only appear if the user has sufficient permissions. The table summary should describe the 3rd column as the short description.

Major

Tables

The table needs header text for the second column.

Place a header in the second column. The header text can be hidden from view using CSS if desired.

Minor

Tables

When the user doesn't have permissions for any actions, the second column of the table is blank.

Consider using a different table summary and removing the second column when the user doesn't have any actions they can perform.

Minor

Consistency

Item / List navigator feature is different than used in most other tools. Points off for being inconsistent, but major points for being the most accessible and simple item navigator.
