From 1 October, we will be replacing our plagiarism detection tool. Ouriginal (or the old Urkund) will be replaced by Inspera Originality. The function is the same: to help you as a teacher or supervisor identify similarities in students' texts.

What does this mean for you?

Firstly, your material will be transferred automatically to Inspera Originality, but any analyses will not.  So check any analyses that you might need to keep for ongoing disciplinary cases and download them as a pdf. 

Secondly, we recommend that you start using Inspera Originality in October. Both the old and new tools will work throughout the month, but on 31 October, the old tool will be shut down. 

Furthermore, the new tool will be integrated into Canvas and also available as a standalone application.

Support and training

We will offer guides for you, and a Canvas course is in the works. Drop-in webinars are planned for the autumn, so keep an eye on the calendar at education.lu.se.

If you have any questions, please contact: digital [at] education [dot] lu [dot] se (digital[at]education[dot]lu[dot]se)
