Unlimited Originality Reports, including in-school matches
With a Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Plus license, teachers can turn on Originality Reports for as many assignments as they wish. In addition, the submitted student work can be compared against an in-domain repository of work from other students.
Configuring Originality Reports and student-to-student matches
Unlimited Originality Reports are automatically available to any staff user with a Plus license or a Teaching and Learning Upgrade. To configure the student-to-student matching feature, admins should:
- Sign in to the Admin console and navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Classroom.
- Open the Originality Reports card.
- From the Organizational Units list, select the teachers' organizational unit.
- Select Enable originality reports school matches.
Pro Tip: Notice that the blue box on the page links to the school matches admin page where you can make sure the school repository is correctly set up on your domain.
Note: School matches for Originality Reports can be turned on for Google Classroom or for another LMS when using Google Assignments.
Resources and considerations for Originality Reports
How to turn on Originality Reports - Google's resource for teachers
School Matches - Submitted work is automatically added to the repository when in-school matches have been turned on. The best practice is to assign one or more Content Managers to the Shared Drive repository to add/remove files when needed. Non-Google filetypes, such as .pdf and .docx, can be added to the repository as well.
