Announcements

Canvas Login Landing Page Update

Canvas has transitioned to a new authentication platform. As a result, the login landing page now appears slightly different, as a single sign on (SSO).

To access Canvas, please use a fresh browser window and navigate to canvas.unt.edu. This link will redirect you to the updated login page, as seen below. You will log in as standard, with your EUID & UNT password.

We recommend updating any previously saved bookmarks that may still point to the old login page to ensure a smooth login experience.

Canvas Enhanced Rubrics: Canvas has updated the rubric tool to allow instructors to import and download their rubrics, as well as the ability to bulk download the rubric scores from the gradebook.

TurnItIn Instructor Feedback Studio Enhancements: Feedback Studio has been updated for instructors to include streamlined assignment workflows, a unified inbox, enhanced Similarity Report, and an upgraded feedback and grading experience.

• Document Details: Allow instructors to view information stored on a document at the time of submission, including file metadata, language analysis, and other details relevant to identifying potential integrity concerns.
• AI Writing Score Visibility: You can now view AI writing scores in the inbox. This enhancement allows instructors to see AI detection results alongside other integrity results, such as the Similarity score, without needing to open individual Similarity Reports.

TurnItIn new assignment option: Instructors will now see an option to use either the original classic assignment or the new standard assignment. The new version of the standard assignment includes improvements to enhance flexibility for instructors and increase visibility into academic integrity indicators. New features include:

• Grant individual extensions to students
• A new AI score column in the submission list (Originality licenses only)
• Bulk update Similarity Report settings or regenerate all reports at once
• Improved accessibility
• Students receive a clear indicator when feedback is available for them to review

TurnItIn AI Writing Bypass Detection: It aims to help educators identify potential AI misconduct and advance student learning by providing updated data and insights on the use of AI in student submissions. This capability is an extension of our AI writing detection capabilities and will become available from August 19 to all customers who have AI writing detection enabled on their accounts. 

Why this matters:

• Deter potential AI misconduct: With AI bypassing detection, you can now identify segments of text that were altered by an AI bypasser to make it sound more human and evade detection. This capability is in addition to our paraphrasing detection, both of which help deter students from using AI writing tools and potential misconduct. 

• Draw actionable insights: Use the data and insights provided by our tool to start a formative discussion with students. The AI writing report highlights the text segments that our model predicts were likely written by an AI tool, and content that was likely AI-written, then likely further modified using an AI bypassing or AI paraphrasing tool to avoid detection. Color-coded insights enable users to interpret results easily. 

• Support your existing workflow: AI bypassing detection is part of our AI writing detection capabilities, which are built into our existing Similarity Report workflow. This means it’s already integrated with the learning management system you’re using. You can check student papers for text that is likely AI-written and further AI paraphrased or bypassed without changing the way you work.
