Project: Content Review

Lead(s): Stephen Marquard , Steven Githens

Summary

The Content Review project provides a set of API's for plagiarism prevention service plugins for Sakai. A backend that uses the 3rd-party Turnitin service is currently available for production use, and is being actively developed. It should also be possible to create implementations for other 3rd-party services which work in a similar way such as Ephorus.
