How to Set an Assignment Up to use Copyleaks Plagiarism Detection in D2L

This guide will explain how to set up an assignment for Copyleaks Plagiarism Checking in D2L. 

Please keep in mind that you can chose 2 different ways to use Copyleaks in your courses. 

1. If you used TurnItIn in D2L, you will need to recreate each assignment to use Copyleaks. 

To do this, you would simply copy the instructions from the previous TurnItIn assignment. Be sure to note the due date, points possible, and number of attempts in the Assignment. 

Next, create a new Assignment and tell it to use Copyleaks. 

Then paste the instructions inside the new Assignment and set up the due date, points possible, number of attempts, etc. 

Once students submit their assignment, the Copyleaks program will show the assignments like the picture below. You can grade inside it and view results of student plagiarism, by clicking View Analytics. 

When viewing a report the results will appear like the picture below. You can view the matched text from wherever it came from and if you want to exclude results, you can click on the 3 ellipses to the right of the result. 

2. If you don't want to take the time to do that, or you don't want to do that for each assignment, you can choose to use the Copyleaks Teacher Scan Tool. This would normally be used for checking discussions and emails, but you can use it as a work around until we migrate to Canvas. And, so that you don't have to redo the set up all of your assignments.
