How to Spellcheck in Moodle 2.5
The old legacy spellchecker in Moodle which once appeared in the toolbar is gone. Moodle changed to
using the built-in spell checking systems of the web browser.
Step 1: Type the content into the assignment box or
anywhere in Moodle that is a place where there is text
input. Note: this can be turned off in quizzes by
instructors.
In this sample you will see two misspelled words
that were identified by the web browser and have
wavy red lines under them:
Step 2: Place your cursor on the misspelled word
and click on the word. Then right-click to reveal
the spell-checker options for correcting the
spelling. Find the option you want and then
release the control key and left click on the word
you want to replace the one you originally typed.
Sample screen shot shows the word on which the
cursor was positioned when the control + right
click was performed. It also shows that there is a
check next to the words Check Spelling on the
menu. This indicates the browser spell checker is
turned on. If this does not appear, you can turn it
on by left clicking on that menu next to Check
Spelling. The correct spelling appears at the top
of the menu in bold and you can right click on it to
replace the misspelled word.
Repeat Step 2 for every misspelled word.
