We support two plugins in the Moodle.org Plugin Database: Cursive’s Authorship and Writing Analytics app and an integration to the Originality.AI API (bringing their plagiarism and AI detection services directly to forums, essays, and quizzes).
What’s the difference?
The current paradigm of writing verification asks simple questions: is it AI? is it original?
At Cursive, we ask different questions: was it you? how was it written? how long did it take? how much editing did you do?
Ensuring integrity for your course might make use of the answers to all or some of those questions above.
