The Blackboard Learning System includes a spell check feature available to users in most areas where blocks of text can be entered. The list of words that are not flagged for correction can be expanded with a supplemental word list for each Virtual Installation. From the Spell Check page, the supplemental word list for the Virtual Installation may be uploaded, modified, and then downloaded to change the list of words.
Access to this feature is initially granted to users with the following Sys Admin roles:
· System Administrator
· System Support
· Course Admin
Click Spell Check from the Tools section of the System Control Panel.
The table below details the available functions on the Spell Check page.
