How does Ouriginal (Urkund) work?

When lecturers create an assignment in Brightspace, they can then specify whether student papers are submitted to Ouriginal (Urkund). The text is analysed and checked with potential matching sources from academically published material, the Internet, and previously submitted student documents.

When a document starts to display similarities to other sources a matching profile begins to take shape. The degree of the matches is recorded and any usages of paraphrasing and synonyms are also taken into account. An analysis overview is generated and delivered to the lecturer via Brightspace.

Ouriginal (Urkund) supports the following file formats: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .sxw, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .pdf 2.0, .txt, .rtf, .html, .htm, .wps, .odt, .odp, .ods, .tif, .tiff, .ps, .hwp, .zip and .pages. Documents submitted to Ouriginal (Urkund) should not contain any document protection or encryption.
