Cursive for Open LMS

Cursive is an authorship authentication tool that connects writing directly to the writer, ensuring that you’re evaluating each student’s authentic work. Celebrate and support authenticity, integrity, and writing skills development directly in Open LMS with an unequivocally anti-cheating and anti-dishonesty approach.

Cursive lets you take a more proactive stance on student writing with the following features:

Authorship Verification

Verify student authorship across assignments, courses, and semesters as students hone their writing and typing skills. Cursive has trained a machine learning model that can consistently identify authentic submissions from individual students throughout their academic career.

Analytics

Analyze the detail of student writing to help benchmark their skills, practices, and effort throughout the writing process. The platform provides a growing number of statistics and calculations, with updates made on a quarterly basis.

Playback

Review writing as a recursive and active process through a playback feature: a chronological visualization of the writing process for each writing session.

Difference

Cursive’s text comparison tool provides new possibilities for exploring the student’s writing process against their final draft submission, helping you identify everything from the use of pasted text, to grammar checker software and generative AI.

Security and Privacy

Cursive receives and processes your data using TLS 1.2 encryption, and all connections are protected by SSL, the industry standard. Its high bar for security and privacy ensures that your institution’s data is managed safely and securely. You have complete control over your data and Cursive will not sell or otherwise share your data with any third parties.
