Moodle, the world’s most customizable and trusted eLearning solution that empowers educators to improve our world, and Copyleaks, the leading AI-based text analysis platform that identifies potential plagiarism and the presence of AI content, verifies authenticity and ownership, and inspires error-free writing, today announced a partnership that brings comprehensive content integrity to Moodle’s worldwide users.
With the explosive growth of AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, many organizations are pondering how to manage and respond to AI-generated content and its wider implications, a particular concern in academia, whose instructors often incorporate writing assessments in their curricula to assess comprehension and hone writing skills. With students relying on AI tools to generate their writing—11.2% of all papers and assignments contain AI-generated content according to a recent Copyleaks analysis—it becomes impossible to demonstrate that they meet learning requirements effectively.
AI-generated and plagiarized content are also major concerns for enterprises. Both are against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, for example, meaning it could have wide-ranging implications when it comes to a website’s search engine optimization and overall visibility.
Through the partnership, Moodle administrators and instructors are able to easily detect AI-generated content within a matter of seconds, including ChatGPT4, with 99% accuracy across a dozen languages, including English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Also, a first, they can detect at the sentence level AI content that is interspersed with content written by a human, providing a more in-depth, nuanced analysis.
Coupled with Copyleaks’ AI-based plagiarism and paraphrasing detection, instructors can be confident knowing they have complete content integrity.
“Many of our clients have expressed concerns about the use of AI for content generation, particularly in the higher education space,” says Jonathan Moore, Head of Moodle US. “Our partnership with Copyleaks will make it simple for Moodle administrators and instructors to detect AI-generated content in order to encourage thoughtful, original content that shows subject mastery.”
“Understandably, there is a rising concern about AI-generated content within the world of education and beyond; we are all still learning the rules together,” says Copyleaks CEO Alon Yamin. “This partnership with Moodle helps us further achieve our goal: to provide the best tools and information available anywhere for educational institutions and enterprises worldwide so that they have full insight to make informed decisions about what the rules are for them surrounding AI-generated content.”
Copyleaks leverages an AI-based multi-pronged approach to content authentication, initially identifying whether content was written by a human or an AI chatbot. If fully or partially written by a human, the platform then determines whether the content is original or if it has been plagiarized or paraphrased.
The commercial partnership between Moodle and Copyleaks comes at an essential time in which everyone is adapting and determining how to best respond to new technologies that can significantly impact the integrity of original, human-produced content.
