UVic UCC virtual classrooms use Urkund plagiarism detection to check authorship of texts that students send to the platform. The system is enabled by default for Moodle assignments, workshops and forums. When a student sends a text, it is forwarded to Urkund , which returns a report that teachers can consult, with details of matches with published documents and texts in UVic-UCC repositories.

If plagiarism is detected, teachers can apply academic sanctions as set out current academic regulations.
