The Academic Integrity Center is a hub for resources and tools which support academic integrity in the classroom. Free teachers can access helpful links and resources, and Pro teachers can use our full suite of tools to monitor and assess student work.

Here are some of the Free resources available in the Academic Integrity Center:

This is the first page we recommend teachers look at if they suspect cheating. The report is a one-page view for a specific assignment which details potential plagiarism. A Plagiarism Report can be generated for any Exercise, Challenge, or Free Response assignment.

Here you can:

Below: See how a student's time and snapshots compare to the section average

Under the Code Comparison section, you can see a similarity score, which is an approximation of how similar the submitted code is to the solution. Show Diffs is a technical view which shows similarities and differences line by line. You can also switch to check the code against another student's submission.

The assignment's Code Replay is also included on this page, offering a playback of the student's code as they worked. More on Code Replay here!

Here, you can visualize how much time students have spent on an assignment as well as when they worked on it. This table layout allows you to compare the number of times students worked on their assignment to their classmates.

Code History allows you to view all the saved snapshots for a specific assignment. You'll also see the reason why the code was saved at that point in time. Different student actions that will result in a saved snapshot are:

This is the same history that is available in the IDE under the More > History tab. Learn more about accessing code history in the editor here!

With Code Replay, you can click Play to watch a log of the student’s code, or step through it with the slider. Code Replay is great way to gather details on potential plagiarism. You can see if a student made drastic changes or suddenly changed direction in their approach.

This tool can also be used to show students how someone approached a problem and the steps they took to solve it. Teachers can unpack what steps and missteps were made along the way to writing a successful program!

Code Replay isn't available on all types of assignments, and a message will be displayed if this is the case. Code Replay isn't available in these cases:

Within the time Tracking tool, there are three different views to help visualize how long students are spending on assignments.

This is a heat-map view of how long each student has spent on the assignments in your Section. Students who take longer to complete an assignment are shaded red, while those who take a shorter amount of time are shaded green. The average time it takes students to complete an assignment is shown on the top row in black.

This view visualizes the same data in the form of a box plot. Use the arrows to scroll left or right through the course assignments.

Here, you can see a bar graph for a specific assignment and compare the amount of time each student has spent on that assignment. Switch between assignments in the course with the drop down arrow.

Turning on Focus Mode forces all students to navigate to the designated assignment. When Focus Mode is on, students can't navigate to other CodeHS pages. (Note: students will still be able to use the browser to navigate to websites outside of CodeHS)

This is a way to ensure that when you’re giving a quiz or assessment, students are forced to view only that page and not have access to past assignments or sandbox programs.

Focus Mode can be used for more than preventing plagiarism. You can make sure your students are focusing on a specific assignment during class and can keep students on track.
