Copyleaks logo

UVU is contracted with Copyleaks and includes two different options as part of checking a student submission:  

  • Plagiarism Detection 
    • Checks for similarity between the student submission and other sources such as internet sources and other submitted submissions.  
  • AI Content Detection 
    • This tool is intended to detect AI-generated content. It also detects the use of paraphrasing tools.

How do I use Copyleaks in my course?

Copyleaks integrates with Canvas and it is easy to enable for an assignment. 

How accurate are the results of Copyleaks AI detection?

Some testing indicates it can be quite accurate. However, there are questions about its efficacy as well. Care should be taken in interpreting the results. Academic integrity violations should be addressed consistent with UVU policy and procedures.
