Similarity Reports

WISEflow supports integration with two different text similarity tools commonly used at educational institutions; Turnitin and Ouriginal (formerly Urkund).

When text similarity is enabled on the flow, WISEflow sends submissions to the respective services and subsequently displays the returned matching percentage in the marking tool.

Interpreting Ouriginal (Urkund) Reports

In March 2023, Ouriginal created a new analysis report and produced a comprehensive User Guide which you can find here. More guides and tutorials can be found on Ouriginal's website.
