Setting up the Moodle Plagiarism Plugin at the Assignment level

Select Course.

Turn on edit mode then click on Add an activity or resource.

A confirmation message will appear in the top right. Finally, you can close out the tab and return to Moodle.
If you have a template that you'd like excluded automatically from all of the submissions in an assignment (i.e. a list of questions which all students are submitting their answers below) please see our page here on the instructions to do so.
Note: If you are an admin who would like to exclude a template from all scans at your institution you do so by logging into the admin dashboard (lti.copyleaks.com), clicking Default scan settings, and uploading the document.

Important Information
- Please ensure you have enabled your browser to “Allow Third Party Cookies”
-
If a student uploads multiple versions of a document to the same assignment, we will NOT compare to their previous submissions. For example, if a student uploads Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3 of a document, we will NOT scan Version 3 against Version 1 and Version 2. However, if the student has uploaded this document to a different assignment, it will be compared. For example, if the assignment is uploaded to English 101 and History 101, we will compare the two against one another.
-
When Duplicating / Importing / Copying an assignment, the assignment Copyleaks configuration settings will NOT be copied into the new assignment. The plugin default settings will be set.
- Submissions cannot be removed once added to our internal database, so please make sure you are aware of if this setting is enabled.
-
If your admin has enabled the Show student information in results setting, instructors and admins will be able to see:
-
- The date & time of submission for the detected result.
- The user's email or username who submitted the detected result.
- The user's full name.
- The assignment name.
