Ouriginal (Similarity report)

  • Updated

This is available for Planners and Graders.

Ouriginal was acquired by Turnitin being deprecated as a standalone product in H1 2026. As such after that that we will no longer support it.

Ouriginal, previously called Urkund, is a an anti-plagiarism tool that provides similarity reports for submitted files. The users that already use this system can use the integration that Inspera offers. You can request similarity reports to all the questions submitted by the candidates (the supported types) or directly within the Inspera's grading tool. If you do not currently use an anti-plagiarism tool, Inspera offers Inspera Originality.

This article provides you with information on the Ouriginal integration, along with a step-by-step tutorial on activating it within your test. 

Similarity reports are available for the following Manually marked question types:

The screenshots are from Marking 2.0, but because it is the plagiarism report that contains the information you need, the method is the same for both classic marking and Marking 2.0.

Marking workspace

In the marking tool, you can view the data for the submitted document. The file name contains the User ID, Test ID and the Question ID. These numbers match the ones found in the current URL address.

The file name will look similar to this:
UserId: 57698595 TestId: 57698590 QuestionId: 56930518.html

Below are looking at the similarity match itself:

You can find the UserID, TestID and QuestionID that this submission was matched against.

After you have found the match, you can use the numbers from the UserID or TestID to search for the match in Monitor.

Finding a match requires that the user doing the search is already added as a contributor to the test where the matching submission originates.

If the user doing the search can't find any match on TestID or UserID this user must contact an extended access user.

After selecting the candidate in Monitor you can jump straight to View submission (or Marking) from the pop-up menu to see the matching candidates submission.

If this candidate has submitted multiple questions you will need to look through the test to find the matching question. The questionID is available in the URL.
