Yes. With Checkmark Plagiarism's LTI 1.3 integration, teachers can view full AI detection results—including overall probability percentages, paragraph heatmaps, paste logs, and accelerated video playback replays—directly inside Canvas SpeedGrader without opening external browser tabs.
Canvas SpeedGrader is the central hub of grading for hundreds of thousands of educators. Having to leave SpeedGrader, download student essays, upload them to third-party AI detection websites, and manually record scores back in Canvas wastes hours of grading time and fragments the evaluation process. By embedding Checkmark Plagiarism directly into the SpeedGrader interface, teachers get complete multi-signal integrity data and autograding tools in a single, unified view.
Below is a detailed guide on what AI detection looks like inside Canvas SpeedGrader and how it streamlines your grading workflow.
Checkmark Plagiarism powers SpeedGrader verification by pairing AI detection with essay writing playback, plagiarism detection, autograding, and native Canvas LMS integration.
The 4 SpeedGrader Tools Embedded by Checkmark Plagiarism
1. The SpeedGrader AI Badge
Displays a color-coded percentage badge (Green <20%, Yellow 20–50%, Red >50%) in the SpeedGrader assessment panel next to the student's name.
2. Interactive Paragraph Heatmap
Clicking the badge overlays color-coded highlights on the student's essay, showing which specific sentences triggered high AI probability patterns.
3. In-SpeedGrader Writing Playback
An embedded video player allows teachers to watch an accelerated 15-second replay of the student's typing history and clipboard paste events.
4. 1-Click Autograding & Rubric Sync
Autograder pre-fills Canvas rubric sliders and quote-anchored comments directly in SpeedGrader for fast teacher review and grade passback.
How SpeedGrader Integration Saves 70% of Grading Time
Having AI detection, plagiarism matching, writing playback, and autograding unified inside Canvas SpeedGrader transforms the grading experience:
- Zero App-Switching: Evaluate text, verify authorship, check citations, and post grades without ever leaving the Canvas student submission view.
- Instant Due Process Resolution: If an essay receives an 80% AI score, the teacher clicks "Play" on the embedded playback widget. Seeing 4.2 hours of typing immediately clears the false positive in 15 seconds.
- Automated Data Flow: Approved grades and feedback sync directly into the Canvas Gradebook with zero manual data entry.
