Our school would like to see Populi partner with a scanning program for plagiarism. This will be a great tool for any professor and school. Turn it in , is one of those programs.

  We just added an integration with Unicheck! Read about it on the blog.

  Agreed. I am just working on a case of this now using google.  A Plagiarism Checker would greatly facilitate this.

  This would benefit my institution as well.

  We use TurnItIn. I've asked Populi to look into making an integration, but nothing has happened yet. PLEASE pursue this issue!!!

  A fusion with this program would keep Populi at the top of the game, making it less cumbersome to use turnitin,com for faculty and students.  Please!

  We agree, would like to see a plagiarism-check feature like this. Here are some of the other options that are out there in addition to Turnitin:

  • http://www.plagtracker.com/plagiarism_checker_for_teachers.html

  This feature would help aid us in making sure our students are doing their own work. Great idea!

  SafeAssignment is another good one that one of my professor uses on his Blackboard/Coursesites page.  I think he is still trying to figure out the transition to Populi.

  With all posts being online, it only makes sense to have a built-in feature that detects plagiarism. This component would allow for a streamlined experience for both student and instructor as they would both be able to view the report.

  This would be so helpful for us as well!

  Any idea of a timeline for when this might happen? Looking forward to this feature!

  unplag.com is another good solution.  We use it because you can scan against the internet and your internal assignments and library/textbooks.

  Good idea.  Would help convert one professor who's reluctant to use Populi because it doesn't have this feature.

  Agree, we would also like to see a plagiarism tool added to Populi. That would be great!

  For now, we are submitted things manually through a plagiarism checker online.

  I agree. A plagiarism check should be included in Populi.

  This really is a MUCH needed feature (as suggested by the number of comments).  The ability to direct our students through Populi to a program like Safe Assign would both promote academic integrity and encourage originality.

  This feature is much needed and helps to maintain academic integrity. Safe Assignment, TurnItIn and Unplag are all good choices. This is something we need sooner than later. I would put it at the top of the list.

  Adam, Unicheck offers three pricing plans.  Does this work with all three (including the free one)?

  Thanks.

  @Douglas - I don't think I can give you a definitive answer on that. Please reach out to Unicheck and let them know you are a Populi customer so they can set up with the right plan and best pricing.

  Adam Sentz Is it possible to integrate Grammarly as a plagiarism checker?

  Bethany Herrod - From what I can gather they don't support third party API integrations. I don't know if you've had a chance to try Unicheck, but I've been pretty impressed with it.

  Unicheck works well for our school.

  Adam Sentz Thank you for telling me! I have checked with them, and Grammarly indeed does not support third-party API integrations. The browser extension can do some things (check discussion posts and any writing that is done within Populi), but it doesn't seem to read uploaded documents. Just so everyone has more information about it!
