Quickscan Dyslexia Screening Tool
Filters are used to add links, insert multimedia players, convert Mathematical expressions or emoticons into images and more.
Filters are enabled on UCL Moodle and then can be removed as needed at the course or activity level. Thus a tutor can disable glossary auto-linking in a quiz for example.
The following filters are enabled on UCL Moodle:
These filters are enabled by default on every UCL Moodle course, which means that text entered into the Text Editor on any page, lesson, forum post, message etc. is passed through the filter before it is displayed. You can choose to turn off the filter on any UCL Moodle course, or within a particular activity or resource - for example, a quiz where you don't want glossary terms to appear that might give away the answer to a question you are asking.
Tutors and course administrators can enable or disable filters on a Moodle course or within an activity or resource.
Determine whether you want to disable the filter at the Moodle course level, or only for a particular activity or resource.
Go to the course settings menu tab.
Set each filter on or off as required.
Click the 'Save changes' button.
