Plagiarism check

Plagiarism software allows texts and/or documents to be checked for plagiarism. Remindo and Skillsly support the plagiarism software of TurnItIn and Ouriginal.

The texts and/or uploaded documents are compared not only with the available data from the plagiarism software, but also with the data available in the organization's own environment.

Set up

Remindo

• As an Administrator in the administration environment, go to Administration -> Settings -> Tab 'General Settings' -> Component 'External integrations' and choose the option 'Plagiarism control (TurnItIn/Ouriginal).
• Under 'Detection system', choose TurnItIn or Ouriginal.
• Depending on the choice, use one of the two options below.
  • TurnItIn: enter the 'Turnitin Endpoint' and 'Turnitin API key'.
  • Ouriginal: enter the 'Ouriginal Unit ID' and 'Ouriginal receiver email'.

The data to be filled in can be obtained from the plagiarism software vendor.

MyPortfolio

In Skillsly, plagiarism control cannot be used in all cases. Currently this is only possible when uploading documents in the Portfolio section and in the Article module.

Please contact support@paragin.nl to inquire if it is possible to activate the plagiarism software in the organization's Skillsly environment.

Use of plagiarism software

Remindo

When creating a new test moment, it can be set to use the plagiarism control. The plagiarism control is then applied to all open and upload questions.

After the test has been taken, in the analysis of the test moment, in the column 'Percentage of matches' the percentage of matches will be shown. Here you can also view the report directly.

During the review of the open questions the plagiarism control can also be opened. This way, the outcome of this check can be taken into account during grading.

On the result page of a candidate, a 'Similarities' button will appear in the menu on the left. This is also where the report can be opened.

Of course the information regarding the plagiarism control is never visible to a candidate.

Skillsly

For example, after a participant places a file in the Portfolio, it will be checked by the plagiarism software. The supervisor will then see in the Portfolio what the established percentage for plagiarism (per document) is.

In the Articles module, a participant will be able to submit an assignment, which will also be checked by the plagiarism software. The supervisor will be able to see the result of this.
