In 2023, LSC was given a free trial of Turnitin’s AI Writing Detection tool. That trial access expired on September 2, 2023. During the trial period, some faculty found the tool to be a good resource to assist in identifying potential instances of academic misconduct related to AI.
In late 2024, the LSC Board of Trustees approved the funds and usage of Turnitin's AI Writing Detector. We anticipate that it will be enabled during the Spring 2025 semester.
In the interim, please see a list below of AI detection tools which are free to use.
However, it is crucial to recognize the limitations and inconsistencies associated with these AI detection tools. Caution should be taken anytime AI detection tools are used to evaluate students’ written responses.
This page will be updated as information becomes available regarding any LSC system-wide decisions.
