Using Authenticity Insights
While students write in Limudi, typing pattern analysis records how the work was written: typing, pauses, edits, pastes and sessions. On each submission you see what that analysis found. It tells you whether the student wrote the work themselves. It says nothing about the quality of the work.
Authenticity results are for teachers and administrators. Students do not see a score or the writing replay.
Typing pattern analysis is always on for every assignment. It cannot be turned off.
Where You See It
- Review page: the Authenticity & Progress Overview panel above the work. Click Show authenticity details to open it. It opens by itself when a result needs a look.
- Submissions page: the authenticity result on each card. Sort by Authenticity to see the most concerning first.
- Student Work: the Authenticity column and the low authenticity chip.
- Dashboard: the Authenticity Heatmap and Authenticity & Accomplishments.
- Writing Journey: the full story of how the work was written. See Writing Journey.
The Result
Each submission gets a score from 0 to 100 and one of these results:
| Result | What it means |
|---|---|
| No Concerns Found | No unusual typing was found. |
| No Major Concerns | Minor signals only. Nothing points to copying. |
| Review Recommended | Some patterns suggest possible outside help. |
| Significant Concerns | Several signs suggest the content may not be original. |
| Unlikely Original | Strong signs that the content was not written here. |
You may also see:
- Authenticity check in progress: the analysis is still running.
- Not enough typing to score: almost all of the text was pasted or added another way. Check the paste breakdown and the writing journey.
- No authenticity data available: there is no typing record, for example when the work was not written in Limudi.
Inside the Panel
- The score: click the info button next to it to read Authenticity Assessment, with Lumi's reasoning and the factors behind the score, such as editing behavior, typing bursts and pause rhythm.
- Paragraph markers: which paragraphs look authentic and which were flagged.
- Writing Process: word count, Active Work Time, sessions and pastes, and View Writing Journey.
- Content Composition: how much of the text was typed, pasted, dictated (Voice Input) or quoted (Cited Content).
- Similarity: shown when the work closely matches another student's.
Recording Your Own Judgment
Your judgment always comes first.
- Click Teacher Feedback, choose Authentic or Not Authentic, add an optional note, and click Apply. The submission then shows Verified Authentic or Flagged: Not Authentic with your name. Click Revert to AI Score to undo.
- Limudi may ask "Does this match what you know about this student's work?" Answer Yes, No or Not sure. Your answer is saved as your judgment and helps Limudi check its scoring.
Asking the Student About Their Process
Click the speech bubble button in the panel (Ask About Process). Choose one of the ready-made questions, or a Personalized suggestion written by AI, edit it if you like, and click Send Question. The question is added as a comment on the submission and the student gets a notification. It does not change the grade or the status.
Using the Results Fairly
- Treat the result as one piece of evidence. Talk with the student before you act on a concern.
- Look for patterns across several assignments before drawing a conclusion.
- Keep accommodations in mind. Speech to Text (Dictation) and Motor Accommodation are taken into account in the analysis.
- A student who drafted elsewhere and pasted the text will show a low score. Ask about their process and explain that they need to write in Limudi.
- Offline work or technical problems can leave gaps in the record. Do not penalize a student for missing data.
- Follow your school's academic integrity policy.
When you raise a concern, describe what you noticed, for example "the writing process for this submission looks unusual," and ask the student to walk you through how they wrote it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I turn typing pattern analysis off for an assignment? A: No. It is always on. The Academic Integrity tab of each assignment shows it as Always On.
Q: Does a high score mean the work is good? A: No. The result is about authorship only. A simple essay a student wrote themselves should score as authentic.
Q: What if I disagree with the result? A: Use Teacher Feedback to record your judgment. It replaces the automatic result on that submission.
