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.
