As of July 20, 2023 Utah State University is using Copyleaks in place of Turnitin to Copyleaks for plagiarism detection.
If you have previously set-up Turnitin and imported your course, you will need to edit the assignments to ensure Copyleaks is enabled.
Copyleaks works with Canvas the same way Turnitin did:
- Learn more about using Copyleaks with Canvas.
- Originality reports will continue to appear in the SpeedGrader and Gradebook exactly as they did with Turnitin. You access detailed reports Copyleaks reports by clicking on the score icon just as before.
- Enabling assignments to use Copyleaks is done the same way Turnitin was enabled. Instead of a Turnitin option appearing, a Copyleaks option appears.
Copyleaks performs AI checks.
- The detailed Copyleaks report includes an alert if possible AI usage is detected.
- As with Turnitin, AI detection is not currently included in the originality score that appears in Canvas.
Copyleaks access outside of Canvas will be available soon. Meanwhile, anyone needing to run plagiarism checking outside of a standard class can request a Canvas shell through which they can submit papers for plagiarism checking. Contact the Center for Instructional Design and Innovation for a course shell
