Copyleaks, our plagiarism checker tool, now has the option for instructors to "Submit files" or "Submit text" directly (as opposed to automatically through the assignment feature or uploading a file of student work). The direct submit feature makes it easy to check discussion board posts or essay questions on quizzes and tests.
To access Copyleaks, click on "Modules" from the Course Navigation menu:
The Plagiarism Scanning Tool will be located in the "Instructor Module (Do Not Publish)"
Method 1: To Submit files directly in CopyLeaks (follow the below steps):
Click the "Scan documents" tab -> then on "Upload Files"
Select and upload the desired file by following the screen prompts.

Method 2: To Submit text directly in CopyLeaks (follow the below steps):
From the main window, click the "Scan Text" tab and paste the student's text in the "Insert text here" area. Click "Scan" - the scan will start immediately.
