Moodle Admin - Teacher Scan Tool Set Up- Manual Integration

The tool enables instructors to scan files and/or free text for plagiarism/AI outside of an assignment. The tool is helpful for late submissions, non-assignment modules such as discussion board posts, and your own class materials. Instructors can view the AI & similarity score of their uploads at a glance.
