Improving originality reports in Google Classroom and Assignments to better detect potential plagiarism Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:56 PM PST Quick launch summary  Originality reports in Google Classroom and Assignments are now better at detecting potential plagiarism by alerting you when a document contains symbols from different alphabets or other writing systems.  Students sometimes swap out specific characters with similar looking symbols in order to trick plagiarism detection technology. For example, if the letter "a'' is replaced with the Greek symbol "⍺" or Cyrillic symbol "α," a plagiarized assignment may not be detected as such.  Originality reports will now alert you when a document contains symbols from another alphabet or writing system. Educators can then review it and determine whether the student had a legitimate reason for using those different symbols. Note that students who use originality reports will not see this feature.  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: This feature will be automatically available to educators when originality reports are turned on for an assignment. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using originality reports.  Rollout pace  Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on December 2, 2020  Availability  Available to G Suite for Education and Enterprise for Education customers, as well as standalone Classroom and Assignments users  Not available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, as well as G Suite Basic, Business and Nonprofits customers  Resources  Classroom Help: Turning on originality reports  Google Workspace Updates Blog: Originality reports and rubrics now generally available for Google Classroom users
