Plagiarism detection & academic integrity

iVake shows the passages in a submission that match other work, so a teacher can look at the evidence, and it deliberately gives no “written by AI” score. Integrity rests on how work is set, a clear rule on AI use, and a decision made by a person who has seen the work and spoken to the student.

Before vs. after handling academic integrity in iVake

The Old Way Transform My Institution

Where you are today

Holding you back

  1. A percentage treated as proof

    A detector score lands on a desk and becomes an accusation, although it is a probability and not evidence.

    Pain point

  2. Honest students flagged

    Students writing in their second or third language produce plain, careful English, which AI-writing detectors tend to flag unfairly.

    Pain point

  3. A race the detector loses

    Paraphrasing tools and newer models slip past detectors, so a policy built on one grows weaker every term.

    Pain point

  4. Only the final copy is seen

    The teacher judges one finished document, with no drafts or history to show how the work came together.

    Pain point

  • 1Final document to judge the work by
  • NoneWritten AI-use rule for the assignment
  • WeeksSpent arguing over a disputed score

Your institution, transformed

Everything connected

  1. Evidence, not a score

    Matching passages are shown beside their source, for a teacher to read and weigh.

    Solved

  2. Work seen as it develops

    Outlines, drafts and the final copy are submitted in stages, with every version kept.

    Solved

  3. A rule for each assignment

    Students see whether AI help is allowed, and how to disclose it, before they start.

    Solved

  4. A person decides

    Staff decide a case after talking to the student, and the outcome is recorded with its evidence.

Evidence a teacher can read, not a score

AI-writing detectors give probabilities, and across a whole school or university even a small error rate wrongly accuses real students every term. Those flagged most often are students writing in a second language. So iVake shows what a person can check instead: the passages that match, and what they match.

  • Matching passages shown beside their source, for the teacher to judge
  • No “written by AI” percentage attached to any student’s work
  • Nothing added to the student record without a staff decision

Assessment design that shows the work developing

Undisclosed AI use is harder, and less worthwhile, when work is seen in stages. An assignment can ask for an outline, a draft and a final copy, keep every version, and say up front whether AI help is allowed and how to disclose it.

  • Staged submissions, with every version kept and dated
  • An AI-use rule on each assignment, shown to students before they start
  • Room for a short viva, an in-class part or a prompt tied to class discussion

Cases decided by people, with the evidence on record

When a concern does come up, it should rest on what a person can defend: the version history, the matching passages and a conversation with the student. The decision, the evidence and who made the call are kept on the record.

  • Cases recorded with the evidence, the outcome and the staff member who decided
  • Case records seen only by the staff your policy names
  • A governed study tutor in the app, so students have less reason to use outside chatbots

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions from academic heads and integrity committees

Does iVake detect AI-written work?

No, and that is a deliberate choice. Detector scores are probabilities, they are often wrong, and they flag students writing in a second language more often. We would rather give teachers evidence they can read than a number that cannot carry the weight of a disciplinary decision.

What does iVake show instead?

Passages in a submission that match course material or other submissions, shown beside their source, and the full version history of the work. A teacher reads both and decides whether there is anything to discuss.

Should we still use a plagiarism checking service?

Many universities do, especially for dissertations and research work under UGC’s regulations on plagiarism. Treat a matching report as the start of a conversation, check the matches by hand, and never act on a percentage alone.

How does iVake help with academic integrity, if not by detection?

Through the way work is set and seen: staged submissions with version history, a clear AI-use rule on each assignment, a study tutor students are allowed to use, and a recorded decision by a person when a concern comes up.

A vendor showed us a very accurate detector. Why not rely on it?

Accuracy figures come from test sets, not from your students. Even a small false-positive rate across thousands of submissions wrongly accuses real students each term, and new models and paraphrasing tools keep changing what a detector sees.

Where should we start on an AI-use policy?

Decide, for each type of assignment, whether AI help is allowed, limited or not allowed, and how students disclose it. Put it in the handbook, show it on each assignment, and agree who decides a case and how a student can appeal.

Who can see an integrity case?

Only the staff your policy names. Case records are restricted in the same way as discipline and welfare notes, and every read and change is written to the audit trail.
