Inspera Originality

With a text comparison tool such as Inspera Originality, you can

• manually or automatically check all student work that is submitted
• detect deliberate or unintentional text manipulation and plagiarism
• create analysis reports of the text comparison.

Inspera Originality can compare the material with publicly available web pages, academic databases, and previous student submissions. This tool has now completely replaced the old Ouriginal tool. 

How to switch to the new tool in Canvas

You can activate the text comparison by following these steps:

1. Click on Courses in the main menu.
2. Open Assignments and click on the assignment of your choosing.
   Or go to the assignment directly from the Module where it is located.
3. On the assignment page, click Edit.
4. Scroll down the page to the box called Plagiarism Review.
5. Click on the arrow and select “Inspera Originality”.
6. More settings will now appear, but you can leave everything as it is.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Save button.

You have now activated the tool in your assignment. 

Inspera Originality outside Canvas is on its way

Have you previously used Ouriginal (Urkund) outside Canvas by submitting to the analysis address (doctoral students, etc.)? There will be a login in Inspera Originality outside Canvas, too, but unfortunately it will not be in place for November 1. We are doing everything we can to get it up and running as soon as possible. Is it urgent? Contact us via the Help function at the bottom of the page.
