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!

Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
