Simplifying the commenting process in an Interactive Similarity Report of StrikePlagiarism.com

To simplify the process of commenting and feedback to students, we have implemented a comment tag mechanism. This mechanism allows the instructor to add ready-made comment tags to the similarity report. Comment tags significantly save time. This functionality is available both on the StrikePlagiarism.com panel and through the LMS. Comment tags functionality has been automatically enabled for all clients. Teachers using the similarity report can find it in the “comment tags” section. Comment tags are semi-transparent, so when you add them to a similarity report, you can see the text behind them. This approach made it convenient to add comments to any part of the text.

StrikePlagiarism.com on MoodleMoot in the Philippines

Our company was invited to a Moodle Moot organized by Nephila in Manila, Philippines. We accepted this invitation, as we are regular participants in Moodle-related events around the world. Our new technologies, including technologies related to AI, were presented to the event participants.

Universities in the Philippines are increasingly talking about situations where it is difficult to determine whether the work was written by a student or ChatGPT. It is difficult to understand whether AI tools are being misused. We decided to share our experience in this direction, since very soon the situation with the use of AI in writing student papers may completely go beyond the control and minimum standards adopted by universities.
Therefore, we placed the main emphasis on the collaboration of student and teacher and the feedback tools available in our system, as well as high-quality AI content search.

We are expanding our integration capabilities with Moodle. For example, we recently launched AI content checking for quizzes, and starting from June, each user will be able to choose to check content for AI or check for plagiarism only.
