Using the Originality Check report (powered by Turnitin Simcheck), teachers can check student submissions for plagiarism. While viewing the student writing from the assignment dashboard, teachers can also see similar papers submitted by other students in their school.
❗️Note: Originality Check is not available for short-response, High Five, or graphic organizer assignments.
Follow these steps to check for similar papers in your school:
From the 'My Assignments' page in Writable, click on the assignment.
Click on a class to view the 'Assignment Dashboard'.
Next, navigate to the Similarity column to see the Similarity percentage and check which students have likely plagiarized writing.
Click on the percentage to open the detailed view.
This opens up the Originality Check report from TurnItIn SimCheck and a list of all found sources for the student's writing.
Click 'View Similar Submissions' in the top right to view any matching writing for your school.
❗️Note: If you do not see these options, the student may have copied from a the internet or student in another school. For privacy, we can only show matching writing for students at your school.
The matching papers will show the original writer, the date submitted, the assigning teacher, and the percentage the writing matches. Click 'Done' to return to the assignment dashboard.
Additional Notes:
Viewing similar papers is currently only available from the assignment dashboard, not while grading student papers in a "stack".
