Constructor Assess: November 2025 update
30 November, 2025
This November, we’re excited to announce a major update to Constructor Assess, delivering powerful new features and integrations to streamline grading, enhance academic integrity, and provide a seamless experience for both instructors and learners.
Turnitin integration for plagiarism detection
Constructor Assess now integrates directly with Turnitin, the world’s leading plagiarism detection service.
For administrators
Administrators can securely connect their institution’s Turnitin license, enabling automated plagiarism checks for all assignments.
For instructors
Instructors can enable or disable Turnitin plagiarism detection for assignments and control whether learners can view their similarity reports.
Instructors also have access to detailed Turnitin similarity scores and full similarity reports directly in the grading interface.
For learners
View Turnitin originality reports (when enabled by the instructor), supporting transparency and learning.
Multiple True or False question type
More flexible, accurate assessment
We’ve unified the Kprime (True or False) format into a new Multiple True or False question type. Now, there are no limits on the number of answer options, and our updated scoring logic ensures precise evaluation.
Consistent, rubric-based AI grading - now with multi-file support
Our AI-powered grading engine now evaluates free-form assignments using instructor-created rubrics, ensuring fair and transparent scoring. Instructors can define detailed criteria, and the AI will automatically assess submissions—even when learners upload multiple files.
- Supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, and TXT formats.
- Instant, actionable feedback for both instructors and learners.
- AI-generated comments and rubric scores are pushed directly to the grading interface.
Canvas LMS Integration for AI Grading
Constructor Assess now connects with Canvas LMS, enabling automatic AI-powered grading and feedback for learner submissions.
With this update, instructors can review AI-generated feedback and rubric-based scores directly in Canvas SpeedGrader, which removes the need for manual data transfers and makes grading faster and more consistent.
Key features include:
- Automatic submission sync: Learner submissions made in Canvas are automatically sent to Constructor Assess for evaluation.
- AI feedback in SpeedGrader: Rubric scores, comments, and detailed feedback generated by Assess are automatically pushed back to Canvas SpeedGrader for instructors to review.
- Bi-directional integration: Canvas remains the central interface for both instructors and learners, while Assess handles evaluation and scoring in the background.
- Supported formats: AI grading supports submissions in PDF, TXT, DOC, and DOCX formats.
