We are setting an LLN assessment therefore do not want learners to be shown by the system when they have made a spelling error. Is it possible to set a quiz so that the learner must spell accurately without the assistance of spell check.

Hi Julie

There is an inbuilt spell checker in Totara which requires executable paths to be enabled in the config.db file - can you check if this is disabled

// Some administration options allow setting the path to executable files. This can
// potentially cause a security risk. Set this option to true to disable editing
// those config settings via the web. They will need to be set explicitly in the
// config.php file
// $CFG->preventexecpath = true;

I think most browsers have spell checkers built in so might be difficult to prevent this in Totara
