Here you can read about Ouriginal and how the system works.
Inspera Originality replaces Ouriginal (Urkund)
On October 31, 2025, Ouriginal will be shut down and replaced by the new plagiarism checking tool: Inspera Originality. The change is due to the supplier behind Ouriginal being acquired and choosing to discontinue the service.
Just like Ouriginal, Inspera Originality is used to analyze student submissions and generate reports as a basis for your own assessment. The system will be able to be used directly via Canvas and there will also be the possibility of independent reviews.
SLU's teachers now have access to the plagiarism detection system Ouriginal. Ouriginal will check all types of examination tasks and assignments against a large number of sources to detect possible plagiarism.
Are the students informed?
If you are using Ouriginal, you MUST inform your students that the assignments that are sent to you will be reviewed by Ouriginal.
Refer students to the Ouriginal website where information to students are.
General information about Ouriginal is also given to the students through the Division of Educational Affairs and the student unions.
Does it cost anything for me as a teacher to use Ouriginal?
No, SLU has purchased a campus licence and pays all the cost.
