Cursive Authorship Authentication Tool for Open LMS

Cursive is an authorship authentication tool that connects writing directly to the writer, ensuring you are evaluating each student’s authentic work. Celebrate and support integrity and skill development directly in Open LMS with a proactive approach to academic honesty, and write on and off the LMS with our companion Chrome Browser Extension.

Cursive has been used to

Reduce evaluation time (no more lengthy investigations with at-a-glance effort scores)
Reduce AI submissions (paired with proactive course policies and awareness, students submitted less AI-generated content)
Improved transparency (students loved the level playing field that Cursive brought to assignments)

Cursive empowers educators to move beyond detection and toward verification with the following features:

Authorship Verification

Verify student authorship across assignments, courses, and semesters. Our advanced machine learning model identifies the unique "writing fingerprint" of individual students, consistently recognizing authentic submissions throughout their entire academic career.

Analytics

Gain deep insights into the writing process with comprehensive charts for reporting and comparison. Analyze student effort, benchmarking skills and practices against historical data. Our analytics suite grows quarterly, providing the data needed to track progress at both the individual and cohort levels.

Playback

Watch writing come to life. The Playback feature provides a chronological visualization of the writing process for every session. Now featuring integrated paste identification, Playback highlights exactly when and where external text was introduced, allowing you to distinguish between cited research and unoriginal content.

Difference

Our text comparison tool offers a side-by-side look at the student’s journey versus their final draft. Easily identify the footprint of generative AI, grammar checkers, or bulk-pasted text to better understand how a student arrived at their finished work.

Teacher Dashboard & Proactive Notifications

Manage integrity at scale with our centralized Teacher Dashboard, designed for high-level oversight of all student submissions. Cursive transparently shows to students when it’s active, explaining that it’s on and available.

Security and Privacy

Cursive prioritizes institutional trust. We process data using TLS 1.2 encryption and industry-standard SSL protections. You maintain complete control over your data; Cursive will never sell or share your information with third parties, ensuring a safe and secure environment for both faculty and students.
