The SPARK Team is continuing the rollout of Copyleaks<\/strong> as Sheridan\u2019s institutionally supported plagiarism-detection tool. Further to our earlier communications, we are sharing additional updates to support faculty planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in Winter 2026<\/strong>, Copyleaks will fully replace Turnitin<\/strong>. Sheridan\u2019s contract with Turnitin will expire on March 31, 2026<\/strong>, after which the platform will no longer be available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means for You<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support a smooth transition, all faculty are encouraged to begin using Copyleaks for assignments and evaluations starting in Winter 2026. Copyleaks is already fully available within SLATE<\/strong>, and faculty are welcome to explore and integrate it into upcoming courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 16<\/strong>, Copyleaks will move from the Content area into the Assessment Tool<\/strong> within SLATE. This update will streamline assignment setup and improve the overall workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
