print icon

Key features and uses:

  • Plagiarism and AI Detection: The tool helps instructors scan student documents and submitted content to identify potential plagiarism and detect if the content was generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Manual Upload and Scanning: It allows teachers to manually upload individual student assignments, discussion posts, or any other content that needs scanning, such as those submitted via email or outside of a designated learning management system (LMS) assignment.
  • Alternative to Assignment-Based Scanning: This tool provides an alternative to creating specific assignments within the LMS for Copyleaks scanning, offering flexibility for situations like late submissions or specific requests.
  • Contribute to Database: Teachers can use it to upload their own course materials or examples to the Copyleaks database, which then can be used for future comparison scans to help identify matches with newly submitted content.
  • Detailed Reports: The tool provides detailed reports, including an originality score, identified matched sources, and highlighted text for review.
