Canvas Copyleaks Teacher Scan Tool - Analytic Dashboard

Why use the Copyleaks Teacher Scan Tool

1. The scan tool can be used to scan discussion posts and emails. You can highlight the entire discussion board (including all posts and comments) and upload them to see if students are using AI to write.
2. The scan tool can be used to scan an assignment that a student sends you via email or Canvas Inbox (due to technical difficulties, for instance). While we want students to troubleshoot and work with technical support when needed, there may be instances when sending an assignment via Canvas Inbox or SPC email is faster for everyone involved.

How to use the Copyleaks Teacher Scan Tool:

1. Select Teacher Scanning Tool.
   
   
   
   
   
2. The Teacher Scan Tool defaults to upload. However, if you want to copy/paste text directly into the tool, instead of saving it to a Word document and uploading that document, you can change your scan type by selecting the three vertical dots. Then, you are able to choose:
   
   
   1. Scan Documents
   2. Scan Text (copy/paste)
   3. Contribute files to Copyleaks internal database
      
      
      
      
      
3. In the Analytics Dashboard select Scan Documents.
   
   Note: You can upload files from student submissions to check authenticity of the document.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Select Upload Files.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Select the desired files then select Open.
   
   
   
   
   
6. The files will begin uploading into Tool. 
   
   Once all files are uploaded, Select Scan.
   
   Note: The tool may take a few moments per file as it reviews the internal database, scans for AI-generated content, and checks internet resources and other published materials to uphold the academic integrity of submissions.
   
   
   
   
   
7. The Analytics Dashboard will display scores for AI and Plagiarism for each submitted file.
   
   Note: Copyleaks database for already submitted material stores previous submissions securely, allowing instructors to compare new assignments against past work. This helps identify self-plagiarism and ensures originality across student submissions.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Select the Expand window icon next to the score to review the CopyLeaks report. 
   
   
   
   

The Report page includes an originality score, matched sources, and flagged text for easy review. Instructors can explore side-by-side comparisons with detected sources, filter results, and access insights to help address academic integrity concerns effectively.
