How to Setup and Use the Copyleaks Course Data Tool for Canvas

The Copyleaks Course Data tool provides easy access to instructors to review analytics.

It is optional. You do not need to install it and use it. However, if you are interested in seeing the analytics for your entire course (ie: the amount of plagiarism and/or AI usage across the board) or the analytics for all submissions of one assignment (ie: how much plagiarism and/or AI is used in a particular essay), then this tool may be a good fit for you. 

How to Install Copyleaks Course Data Tool in your course: 

1. Login to Canvas and navigate to the course in which you'd like to use the Copyleaks Course Data tool.
   
   
2. Add a module. Call it Copyleaks Course Data Module. 
   
   
   
   
3. Go to the Copyleaks Assessment Tool Module. Select the + plus sign in the top right corner to add an item to the module.
   
   
   
   
   
4. From the dropdown menu, select External Tool.
   
   
   
   
   
5. From the External Tool menu, scroll, select Copyleaks Course Data (Optional). A dialog box will appear that says Creating AI Assessment Overview. When the box disappears, the scan tool is generated. Select the blue Add Item button in the bottom righthand corner. 
   
   
   
   
   
6. At first, it will be named AI Assessment Overview. Select the three vertical dots, then select Edit and rename the tool Copyleaks Course Data Tool.
   
   
   
   
   
7. This is a screenshot of a Copyleaks Course Data Module with the AI Assessment Overview tool inside. In the screenshot, the module and tool are unpublished. Please make sure to keep this module and tool unpublished. Students should not see this. By default, the module and the tool are unpublished and they will remain unpublished. However, if you ever select the Publish All option at the top of your course, you will need to locate the Copyleaks Course Data Module and manually unpublish (hide from students). 
   
   
   
   
   What the Publish All option looks like: 
   
   
   
   If your Copyleaks Course Data Module has a green arrow inside, that means it's published, and students can see it. To unpublish it, select the green arrow, and select Unpublish module and all items from the dropdown menu. 
   
   
   
   
   
8. The Copyleak AI Assessment Tool installation is complete. Please note that you will need to complete these steps for each course where you wish to use this tool.

How to use Copyleaks AI Assessment Tool 

1. AI Assessment Overview: Go to your course and select the Copyleaks AI Assessment module. Then, select the Copyleaks AI Assessment tool. This is how to view a course overview of the average AI content detected, average plagiarism score, and average writing corrections (if you have this option turned on for an assignment, because in our instance, it is disabled by default).
   
   
   
   
2. Assignment Overview: Once you're inside the AI Assessment Overview, select an individual assignment to bring up the Assignment Overview. 
   
   
   
   In the Assignment Overview panel, you have three options:
   
   
   
   
   1. View Assignment Settings brings you to the original assignment settings page.

   2. View Assignment Analytics shows the analytics for the individual assignment, including details on writing corrections by category, plagiarism usage and AI usage, and which sources were used to plagiarize. 
      
      
      
      
   3. View AI-Assessment Report brings you to a split panel page with options for Grading & Feedback, Matching, AI Content, and Writing Assistant. By default, Matching is selected, displaying the student's submission on the left and any matched text results on the right. Select Export PDF Report to download a PDF of the results. 

How to use the AI-Assessment Report Tool

Matched Text shows the split panel with the student's submission on the left, and matched text (either from the internet or the Copyleaks internal database) on the right. 

AI Content shows a split panel with the student's submission on the left, an AI results and analytics on the right. 

Writing Assistant shows a split panel with the student's submission on the left, and the writing assistant analytics on the right. Please note that by default, writing assistant is not enabled, so you'll only see content in this panel if you've enabled it for this particular assignment. 




Grading and Feedback shows a split panel with the student's submission on the left. In this screen, you can:

1. Highlight text.
2. Select the + to Add annotation to the highlighted text.
3. Type your feedback inside the annotation dialogue box.
   
   
   
   
   
4. When you are finished giving feedback, select Edit grade to input a grade, and select General Feedback to give general, overall feedback. Grades will be reflected in the gradebook. 
   
   
   
   
   
5. You can also use the View Next Submission or View All Submissions buttons to move between student submissions easily in this screen. We recommend using the Copyleaks Grading and Feedback screen to review plagiarism and AI usage, and then moving into Speedgrader to do the actual marking up and grading.
