The rise of online universities and corporate colleges, freedom to demonstrate knowledge in every possible way are only a few manifestations. We want educators to foster this change and become the guardians of authentic student mindsets,\u201d says Serhii Tkachenko, CEO of Unicheck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdvanced cheating detection arms educators with a toolkit for data-driven decisions. Now they have grounds for discussing learning challenges with the students and therefore, adjust learning programs to help them acquire and demonstrate knowledge in the most suitable form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds, \u201cAs a result, educators complete their mission to make students well-educated, and learners are achieving the quality knowledge needed to become an accomplished professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The newly released cheating detection feature serves two main goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simplifying educators\u2019 workflow with zero added work &#8211; the scanning process launches automatically with the rest of the Unicheck suite and provides a comprehensive report to instructors right where they grade submissions.<\/li>\n<li>Facilitating quality education development &#8211; instructors receive much-needed help in identifying students who experience learning challenges, and thus, accomplish their mission of fostering a highly competent future workforce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What does cheating detection actually find?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Character replacement tricks &#8211; when letters are substituted for the similar-looking ones taken from other alphabets.<\/li>\n<li>Causes of visual mismatch &#8211; all sorts of techniques that lead to discrepancies between visual and digital representations of the text, like micro-spacing and screenshots with borrowed text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why it is important?<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to Unicheck\u2019s data, the average of 6.7% of all scanned submissions across the US in 2019 contained various forms of digital cheating including character replacement tricks, micro-spacing, and images instead of text.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong><br \/>\nStudents who decide to resort to academic dishonesty, have a few options: borrowing materials from the Internet or other students, ordering work from a paper mill &#8211; which costs a small fortune these days &#8211; or applying diverse technical methods of cheating.<\/p>\n<p>The latter cases are automatically located by the Unicheck\u2019s cheating detection. When a student submits a paper, the system identifies text similarities and compares the layout that\u2019s visible to an instructor with the actual formatting. If some discrepancies are found, the instructor will see a notification with the details and a recommendation to further investigate the work. This tool allows instructors to focus on difficult learners first and help them thrive.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Unicheck, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/unicheck.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/unicheck.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>ABOUT UNICHECK<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Unicheck is a technology company that builds innovative software in the field of education and academic integrity.
