Unicheck Announces New Enhancements And Capabilities To Improve Quality Of Education Worldwide

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Unicheck, the plagiarism prevention software that helps institutions worldwide to make students well educated and successful, announced several big improvements and enhancements. These new capabilities empower educators and students to create valuable learning and teaching moments about academic integrity, authorship and proper citing. 

“Upholding academic integrity is an ever challenging goal. In a world where access to information is unlimited, we strive to educate students about ownership of ideas and help them polish their writing skills with integrated productivity tools,” said Serhii Tkachenko, CEO of Unicheck.

“Plagiarism checkers have earned bad reputation of being a police, and we aim to change this perception. We provide students with self-check tools to identify uncited content in their work and correct their writing before final submission.” 

These new Unicheck improvements and enhancements enable:

• Better achievements in students outcomes: Unicheck provides students with opportunity to run self-check for potential plagiarism in the written assignments right in LMS. When uncited content is clearly highlighted and sources provided, students are delivered from “darkness to light” - they see clearly which parts of their assignment require original thought and revision.

• Enhanced productivity for educators and administrators: achieving 99.9% up time and full capability of processing bulk submissions were our initial goals. By implementing a status page (status.unicheck.com) we allow every user to check availability of the system as we are fully transparent. Unicheck is processing submissions from hundreds of institutions in real-time with no slow-down. Educators can be confident about meeting their deadlines when grading assignments.

• Web accessibility which removes barriers: Unicheck interfaces are developed according to WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines and offer all-inclusive experience for all categories of users. This helps create better learning environment where everyone gets an equal opportunities or learning. Unicheck tools work anywhere on any device.  

  Brand-new Unicheck Capabilities are:

• Build in-house new similarity report: in just few minutes after student final submission, an educator receives a complete similarity report with all matched content, citations and references highlighted. The comparison is made in real-time with more than 40+ billion unique sources on the Internet. The miminap of the document allows to quickly identify pages with potential plagiarism. A click on the match reveals the source and matching content from it. Matches with previously submitted work identify student, course, assignment, and time of submission of matched file.

• Redesigned downloadable report: available in PDF format, Unicheck downloadable reports capture all information from the online report and provide opportunity for grading offline, archiving, sharing and printing plagiarism reports. Also, a favourite annotation tool can be used to provide in-line feedback for student’s submission with matches, citations highlighted by Unicheck. Educator can share report with a student to creating a learning opportunity.

• Implementation of Safe Browsing filter: why none of the plagiarism checkers are checking reported links for safety? We think forward and implement Unicheck’s Safe Browsing filter to efficiently spot dangerous and explicit links in the plagiarism reports and prevent students from opening them. Educators are warned before proceeding to unsafe resource. Better security - less hassle for Administrator and less worry for users.
