Ouriginal in Canvas
Ouriginal is integrated into Canvas and was previously called Urkund. When logged into Canvas, you do not need any other account than the teacher role for your course in Canvas. In Canvas, you will then receive information about how Ouriginal has checked the information via the overview in assessments or individually via the Speedgrader feedback tool.
