As of yesterday, Turnitin is no longer available for plagiarism detection, but don’t worry, Copyleaks, with its advanced plagiarism detection tool, is available to ensure the originality of academic work.
Like Turnitin, Copyleaks allows instructors to scan submitted files for plagiarism through the familiar Canvas interface. Copyleaks also leverages cutting-edge technology to detect similarities between submitted texts and a vast database of sources and helps you identify potential plagiarism by comparing student submissions against billions of web pages, scholarly articles, and academic papers.
If you have used Turnitin on assignments in the past, you will need to edit and update those assignments to reflect Copyleaks as the plagiarism checker.
