Inspera Originality (short name Originality) is the tool used at Jönköping University to detect potential plagiarism. When a student submits assignments or exam answers, teachers can use IO to check the text against previously submitted material and other sources.

As a student, you may encounter Originality in two different ways:

In the learning platform (Canvas)

When submitting a text or file in an assignment in the learning platform, your text may be sent for plagiarism checking. You will notice this because you are required to tick a checkbox “This assignment submission is my own, original work” before you can submit. As a student, no extra actions are needed. You submit as usual, and the system automatically sends it to Originality.

In the e-exam tool (Inspera Assessment)

All submissions in the form of essay answers and uploaded files are sent to Originality for checking. As a student, no extra action is required.
