Can Canvas identify AI submissions by students that would be similar to the Similarity Score?
Hi @ajwojciechowski,
Canvas itself does not check for plagiarism or provide a similarity score, rather that is done by 3rd party integrations with Canvas (like Turnitin or Copyleaks). So in a similar way, I think it's unlikely that Instructure would provide any kind of AI checking itself, but many of the plagiarism detection providers provide some sort of AI detection that your school/institution could enable if they wish. You'd want to speak with your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) about this.
With that being said, I would urge great caution even if your school/institution turns on some sort of AI detection, as research has shown over and over again that AI detection is fallible and unlike plagiarism detection, AI detection has very little (if any) hard evidence to back up the score. It may be the case that your school/university has decided not to offer AI detection deliberately because of some of the issues that come along with it (this is the direction my institution has taken).
I hope this info helps!

I'm new here, an instructor referred by Canvas support. I'm having trouble with my discussion boards as they're broken up into multiple pages. I'd like the option to make all of the discussion board posts fit on a single scrollable page. Please? Thank you!
Hi everyone… Has anyone else run into issues with SAML authentication not working, but only on their beta instance? Our production and test sites are fine, but we manage a number of different Canvas instances and every one of them that uses SAML authentication (with either Okta or Microsoft Entra) has not worked for a…
