Service interruption in the Inspera Originality text-matching tool

Over the weekend, the text-matching system Inspera Originality was down due to the security breach in Canvas.

As a precautionary measure to protect other systems, all connections (integrations) between Canvas and other linked systems were temporarily suspended. All connections are now back up and running.

Instructure/Canvas has announced that it has now uploaded all student submissions to Canvas assignments and, according to the company, the issues caused by the connection outage have been resolved.

As a large number of documents have been submitted, there may be a queue for Inspera Originality.

Please check your current assignment details and contact our support if you encounter any problems:
