Validate original student writing
— distinguish authentic effort from AI generated text 


Enables you to embrace AI at your institution while at the same time enabling the safe use of AI in assessment.
Validation is the opposite of AI detection: we search for evidence of a student's own writing rather than evidence of others' writing.
Confirming authenticity is a new and positive approach to academic integrity.

 

Student authenticity score

We analyze multiple aspects of a submission to measure the level of original student writing. This gives us evidence to calculate a student authenticity score — the strength of the "student voice."

The instructor can judge whether the level of AI writing-assistance is acceptable and whether the submission is valid for assessment. Additionally, the instructor can use the result in a learning process to foster academic integrity to see more original work and encourage critical thinking.

The absence of original student writing can also be evidence of contract cheating.

Cheating methods (1)

Validation, not detection

Norvalid's Authorship Validation method searches for evidence of the student's writing.

Our method can be combined with traditional plagiarism detection, which is searching for evidence of others' writing.

By confirming original student writing, we also confirm the absence of ghostwriting and plagiarism.
