Copyleaks can assist instructors in detecting and preventing plagiarism. Copyleaks crawls the internet for content that is not behind paywalls. It also has an integrated AI detector that is enabled and scored separately from the plagiarism detector.
Copyleaks is integrated into Canvas Assignments when you choose "online" as your submission type or as a separate Teacher Scan tool.
According to WebAIM, “contrast is a measure of the difference in perceived ‘luminance’ or brightness between two colors.” Contrast is expressed as a ratio with a range of 1:1 (both colors are the same; for example, white text on a white background) to 21:1 (for example, black text on a white background).

Generative AI (gen AI) is a kind of artificial intelligence "that can create original content such as text, images, video, audio or software code in response to a user's prompt or request (Stryker & Scapicchio). While gen AI is not new, the way the average user could access these kinds of tools changed wildly with the broad release of ChatGPT in 2022.
The UIS Syllabus and Assignment Icons, adapted from the Oregon State project, represent some approaches to generative AI use for course policies and assignments. Syllabus statements are also a great way to frame the conversation about generative AI with your students. As instructors, it is important to provide guidance on acceptable generative AI usage from the start of a course. Instructors are encourages to modify and adapt the descriptions to fit courses and assignments.
In July 2024, COLRS partnered with Human Resources to present the App Café for the Rise Employment Development series. This was a come-and-go opportunity to have a little fun learning about new apps that colleagues across UIS use for productivity, fun, lifestyle, hobbies, finance, and news/reading.
We were very grateful to have volunteers from our campus community share some apps that they love, and we hope you love them, too!
REMINDER: Faculty will no longer be able to access any Turnitin reports after July 27. Please review the information below.
COLRS and ITS are excited to announce that we will be transitioning to Copyleaks as our plagiarism and AI content detection tool.
