Why Unicheck & Canvas Native Integration Get So Much Love

There are basically two ways of how Unicheck can be integrated into Canvas – via LTI and a Native Integration. And the latter has a lot to offer:

• Implementation of the integration takes literally 30sec or 3 to 5 clicks of a mouse

• No particular maintenance needed – updates are downloaded automatically

• Competitive with both Canvas’ SpeedGrader and DocViewer, tools for viewing, commenting and grading assignment submissions

• Settings of each particular assignment are adjustable at any time

• Similarity report can be available to both teacher and student

• No need to dive into individual reports – overall similarity score of each paper is available on the list in Grades (clickable different-colored flags that lead to a full similarity report: blue for 0% similarity, green for up to 20%, yellow for medium level of similarity found, and red for 80% and more)

• All submitted papers can be now stored in Canvas and downloaded to your PC

• Optional opportunity to resubmit papers given by the teacher
