The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of astrocyte differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of Schwann cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of microglia differentiation, the process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a microglial cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a glial cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of glia cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of glia cell differentiation. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
