Plagiarism detection should never be enabled in a Canvas (LTI 2) assignment after students have already submitted. If a teacher submits work on a student’s behalf in an assignment where plagiarism detection was originally disabled, certain system actions will not run, and the information will not be sent to Inspera Originality. We recommend to always check Plagiarism Detection is enabled before students submit. In a similar situation as to this case, it is best to create a new assignment with Plagiarism Detection enabled and have students resubmit. |
