Originality is a system that ranks the level of originality of text typed into a document, and can be used as part of the "Assignment" component of the course website on Moodle. Originality User Guide Originality is a system that ranks the level of originality of text typed into a document (checking for plagiarism), and can be used as part of the "Assignment" activity of the course website. Click here for instructions for Assignment. Once the Originality test is activated, the content of the text submitted by the students is reviewed and compared to other previously scanned documents by the system and content uploaded online (test with Google). At the end of the comparison process, a percentage indicating the original score of the work is obtained, and a report is produced that contains the details of the originality rating, including details of passages in the document under review that were identified in other sources (plagiarism). The system operates in Hebrew, English and Arabic languages and is designed for text-based tasks. The Originality system also checks with Google and can detect copies directly from websites. Please note that the system can only check the following file types: .PDF, .docx, .doc, .rtf, .txt. Important to know! The Originality add-on is not automatically enabled when importing content from site to site. Make sure to add the Originality test in each assignment after importing it. How to use Originality? Step 1 - Activate the Originality test Guidelines for Submission for Students Step 2 - Viewing the reports The Students' Perspective Step 1 – Activate the Originality test 1.

While waiting, a note "Originality: Under Review " appears next to the students' submission files in the assignment. The usual score in the originality test is over 70%. It is recommended to check originality scores lower than 70% before drawing conclusions.
