I use the same assignments from year to year. I link them through Google Drive and each student is given a copy.
Is there a way to see if a student is using the exact same content they turned in the year before?
Hi @JACOBCOLEMAN,
You'd need to use some sort of plagiairsm detection system to do that. Unfortunately, none of the systems that I know which plug into Canvas would work with external tool assignments. If you just give a link to a google drive document, have students fill it in, then download a PDF/word version from Google and upload it to Canvas that could work though. Plagiarism Detection Systems would usually have a yearly license cost associated with them as well, so it would be something your school/institituon would need to decide to purchase.
Hope this info helps!

Hi @JACOBCOLEMAN ,
Are you using the Google Assignments (LTI 1.3) integration to distribute the Google Docs? If so, then you should find a folder called "Assignments" in your Google Drive. Canvas created that folder (or possibly multiple folders over time) to hold all the student assignments "shared" with you via Google. If you have the same students year to year, all of their assignments should be in a folder somewhere on your Drive, so you can find and compare them if you suspect that someone is re-submitting prior work.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
