Plagiarism Review

[rjrizzo]

Where is my plagiarism review? When I create an assignment in which students have to submit a doc their is no way to review for plagiarism. I don't even see it as an option. Can someone please explain this to me? #plagiarism review

Hello  @rjrizzo ,

Are you using Turnitin or 

Here is a blog with lots of information regarding Turnitin:  Canvas and Turnitin‌ and here is one on VeriCite for Plagiarism Detection‌ .  If it's neither of those then let us know what you are using and we can try and help.

Have a great day.

Hi  @rjrizzo  - This really depends on which plagiarism tool you are using within Canvas. Turnitin (to name one that I'm familiar with) has two "flavors" currently, and what used to appear as a checkbox for the review is no longer there.  Here is the first place to check IF using Turnitin: Turnitin Help | Which version of Canvas do you use? . 

The External Tool version requires using it as an external tool when creating the assignment, whereas for the Plagiarism Framework you should be seeing a drop-down menu called "Plagiarism Review"--which is fairly obvious on the assignment creation screen--so I'm guessing you may be using the external tool. 

If you are NOT using Turnitin, I personally do not have as much experience, so I would have to direct you to your local support for more information.  (Which, based on your email, appears to be here: Technology Services & Innovation | Volusia County Schools .)

I hope this helps a bit, Robert.

I did not realize this was something our school has to purchase annually. I thought plagiarism review was something that came stock with Canvas (pretty ridiculous it doesn't).

@Robert,

Unicheck, Turnitin, or any other plagiarism checking tool is third-party software that is integrated into Canvas.

After a school or university is licensed to use any of this software, you will be able to choose the plagiarism detector in the checkbox ‘Plagiarism Review’ as it is depicted in the picture below.

Unicheck serves more than 1.5 million students, 1,100 academic institutions, 100 thousand educators all over the world. These numbers change every month, thus, it is quite possible that your school is already using or plans to use it soon.
