URKUND is the leading system for plagiarism control in the Nordic region. It is designed with user friendliness in mind and is designed to help teachers and examiners. The system helps improve the quality of education by providing pedagogical support in the writing process and to save time otherwise spent on verifying the contents of written assignments.

URKUND can be integrated into external systems, allowing users of a Learning Management System to use URKUND as part of an already familiar environment. The new web service (2011) has all the nuts and bolts to make the interaction between our partners and us both more modern and flexible. The new web service uses completely different technology and we have therefore in connection with the revamp also improved major parts of both the flow and the logic. Among other things, we move away from e-mail as a method of transmitting documents in favour of a REST-based protocol. The new integration service is not an SOAP web service. It uses a REST inspired protocol using XML or JSON over HTTP.

URKUND is already integrated with a number of common Learning Management Systems, such as Moodle, Blackboard, Fronter, SharePoint, PingPong, Vklass and others.

Integration with It’s Learning is coming up during 2011.
