Last week Google announced that Originality Reports in Google Classroom would soon be available to all users with the limitation that you could only run three reports unless your school subscribes to G Suite for Education Enterprise Edition (the paid version of G Suite for Education). As of yesterday afternoon (Eastern Time) Originality Reports are now available in all G Suite for Education domains.
What are Originality Reports?
Originality Reports in Google Classroom let you check documents for
elements of plagiarism originality against the millions of webpages and
books that are indexed by Google. Students are able to run Originality
Reports on their own work before submitting it as an assignment in
Google Classroom.
Rubrics in Google Classroom
Last August Google launched a beta of rubrics in Google Classroom. As of yesterday’s announcement by Google, rubrics are now available to all teachers using Google Classroom. In the following video I demonstrate how to use rubrics in Google Classroom. It should be noted that since I made this video Google did introduce the option to reuse rubrics from assignment to assignment.
