Hello,
Is it possible to select an option that avoid students to copy text in general online classes and exams?
Thanks you

I don't think there is.
A Moodle site is just like a website in many ways.

Bear in mind that you can point most modern mobile phone cameras at any text, and it will transcribe it for you. In 2022, there is essentialy n technical 'solution' to make it impossible to copy anything.

Getting people to respect your copyright is a social problem, not a technical one. Always has been really.

Hello Pedro,

In the quiz settings, if you activate "Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security", then the students are prevented, as far as is possible, from using facilities like copy and paste.

See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Quiz_settings#Extra_restrictions_on_attempts

If you really want to block a student from copying text in an exam, you could consider running the SafeExamBrowser to fully lockdown a session for a student. Then, there's no chance they can copy text and images.

On the other hand... why is such a level of control required?

If it's learning content you'd want to protect: turn your content into scorm packages?
