Catching Cheating on Submitted PDF files

I post students' homework as a Jamboard. Students do their homework on the jamboard and then download it as a pdf and submit it in Canvas. I realize it would be really easy for students to just submit the same pdf, and it would be really hard for me to notice. Does Canvas have a tool where it will check all submissions to see if any of them are identical?

Hello @mrleedvca
Sorry your post went so long without a reply!
Canvas does not have any tools built in that would check for plagiarism. You may be interested in speaking with your administrators about the possibility for adding an external tool that would do that job. There are tools like UniCheck and TurnItIn that can be installed in to Canvas to check for plagiarism, but ultimately it would be up to the account holders for your school/organization.
