Similarity Reports and Sources

Compare student work to web pages, journals, and institutional repositories to reveal matched strings and paraphrase overlap. Results show sources, percentages, and highlighted passages for quick review. Instructors drill down to confirm context and intent. Reports support teaching citation practice and help students revise before final submission when drafts are allowed by the course policy and assignment setup. Rubrics and inline comments stay attached to submissions for transparent grading.

Drafts, Revisions, and Resubmits

Allow drafts with resubmission windows so students learn from feedback rather than only outcomes. Settings control whether previous versions remain in the index or are held back. This flexibility supports iterations, peer review, and scaffolded writing. When learners see similarity early, they can fix citations and paraphrasing issues before grades are recorded, reducing stress while improving writing quality. Department level reports surface trends in citations sources and repeated issues.

Feedback Studio and Rubrics

Annotate directly on documents with highlights, comments, and reusable quick marks. Attach rubrics to clarify expectations, then score consistently across large classes. Voice notes and checklists give targeted guidance. This centralizes feedback where students write, keeping comments tied to text and reducing email sprawl. With transparent criteria, grading becomes faster, fairer, and easier to explain. Secure submission flows and audit logs document actions clearly for reviews later.

Integrations and Workflows

Connect with major LMS platforms to sync rosters, due dates, and grades automatically. Single sign on keeps access simple. Templates accelerate setup across sections. API endpoints support advanced automation where needed. By fitting the tools instructors already use, submission and review flows stay consistent, which lowers the barrier to adoption and minimizes clerical tasks for staff. Role based permissions separate instructors admins and support staff effectively.

Analytics, Policies, and Access

Department and course reports highlight trends in similarity, sources, and timing. Permissions separate roles. Audit logs retain actions for later review. Accessibility features support screen readers and keyboard navigation. Guidance materials coach students on citation techniques. These controls help institutions manage academic integrity at scale while maintaining privacy and compliance commitments. Integrations sync rosters deadlines and grades to reduce manual entry for teachers.
