Expected Questions Does it integrate with Discussion Boards? • No. This feature may be coming soon, but there’s no concrete planed date for. Can it detect self-plagiarism? If student re-submits a paper to same class, it WILL NOT cause a match to that student. However, it will match in a different course, as it’s considered self-plagiarism. The concept is students should be submitting new original work for their other classes and not recycle paper.
