There will always be students who attempt to circumvent the assessment process, which has historically lead to detection-based approaches over time.
Studiosity takes a different approach. Rather than relying on a “cat-and-mouse” model of detecting misconduct at the point of submission, it focuses on validating the student’s authorship and learning journey throughout the assessment writing process.
By asking students to demonstrate authorship continuity, engagement with their work, and understanding through viva-style questions, educators gain greater visibility into how learning developed over time, not just the final submission itself.
The emphasis shifts from trying to “catch” misconduct, to creating meaningful opportunities for students to demonstrate their own learning and process.
Can students use AI within the questions & answers?
Within our system, we've set up restrictions to limit students use of AI in the questions & answers by:
1.Time-based approach: The timer creates a 'latency barrier', where there is no room for the 'copy-paste-prompt' cycle. Students have to know the content to be able to provide an answer in the required time.
2. Non-generic questions: The questions are dynamically generated for each student, based on the specific logic and claims only in that student's paper. Answering here relies on a pedagogical design that students are happy to answer about the work they did - they have a 'mental map' to jot down their thoughts within the time.
3. Educator choice: Educators get to set the AI Policy and level of validity their students work through.
