Open LMS Announces New Partnership With Cursive to Ensure Academic Integrity in Student Writing
The partnership makes Cursive’s writing analytics and authorship verification tool available to Open LMS customers.
Open LMS, a global leader in open-source learning management systems, announces a new partnership with Cursive Technology, Inc. The partnership brings Cursive’s tightly integrated academic integrity and writing analytics tools to Open LMS’s EDU and WORK platforms.
As the newest plugin in Open LMS’s industry-leading suite of tools to support teaching and learning, Cursive lets institutions and organizations take a more proactive stance on their academic grading and evaluation by focusing on the writing process. Open LMS users of Cursive will have access to new analytics and insights, authorship-focused machine learning models, and Cursive’s ‘difference engine’, adding transparency to student writing.
“Over the last 15 years, as a scaled higher ed program administrator, I searched for a solution to the intractable problem of tying submitted writing to the enrolled student and I’m excited and proud to work with Open LMS to introduce our solution to its client base,” said Joseph Thibault, Cursive Founder and CEO. “Cursive provides institutions a fundamentally different approach to after-the-fact detection tools to raise the bar for academic integrity. Through machine learning and AI, we create transparency in the writing process and provide new data and insights to faculty and students for qualitative assessment, no matter the AI usage policy.”
Added Bill Conran, Open LMS’s Head Of Sales: “Cursive is a fantastic solution for solving some of the most pressing problems in assessing qualitative submissions in the AI era, like authorship, human verification, and identifying AI-created work versus a student’s own writing. We know that these challenges are top of mind for many in the field of higher education and learning right now, and are excited to introduce Cursive to our valued clients.”
