As Academic Integrity Evolves Alongside AI, Copyleaks Gains Momentum Across Leading LMS Platforms

With new integrations and expanded partnerships across leading LMS platforms, Copyleaks now reaches up to 80% of the K-12 market and 95% of higher education

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Copyleaks, the leader in AI-powered content originality and authenticity, today announced a native integration with Google Classroom, marking another milestone in its expanding education footprint. The integration brings Copyleaks to learning management systems (LMS) used by approximately 80% of the K-12 market and 95% of higher education institutions.

Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the classroom, reshaping how students learn, write, and complete assignments. According to the Copyleaks 2025 AI in Education Trends Report, nearly 90% of students now use AI for academic purposes. As a result, institutions are shifting their focus from whether students use AI to how academic integrity can evolve alongside it.

"AI isn't going anywhere," said Alon Yamin, CEO and Co-founder of Copyleaks. "Educators recognize that the discussion is no longer whether students should use AI, but how institutions can incorporate AI into the classroom and still celebrate originality and ensure authentic learning."

In response, educational institutions are moving beyond one-size-fits-all AI policies toward more nuanced approaches that vary by assignment, course, department, and institution. Copyleaks is seeing continued adoption of its AI-powered academic integrity platform, helping educators make informed, transparent decisions while supporting consistent, fair, and responsible AI use.

Copyleaks' expanding education footprint includes:

• A new native integration with Google Classroom, giving educators across more than 60,000 schools direct access to Copyleaks' AI and text matching capabilities within their existing workflow.
• An expanded partnership with Instructure, where Copyleaks was recently named a top-tier strategic sales partner. Under the agreement, Instructure's global sales organization will directly offer Copyleaks' AI and text matching solutions to K-12 and higher education institutions, simplifying access for Canvas users.
• A partnership with D2L Brightspace, broadening access to Copyleaks' academic integrity solutions for colleges and universities through one of higher education's leading learning management systems.
• Expanded education leadership with the appointment of Eric Gibbs as Vice President of Education, bringing more than two decades of education technology experience to Copyleaks. Gibbs previously led the Americas businesses for academic integrity platform Ouriginal, where he established global partnerships before the company's acquisition by Turnitin.
• Compatibility with major LMS platforms, including Blackboard, Moodle, Schoology, Sakai, and Edsby, enabling institutions to embed academic integrity directly into existing teaching workflows.
  
  

"The conversation around AI in education is evolving in realtime. It's no longer simply about whether a student used AI or student misconduct," said Eric Gibbs, Vice President of Education at Copyleaks. "Both students and educators need context to understand how AI is being used so they can have meaningful conversations, align on shared expectations, and ensure it supports learning. Our role is to provide insights that inform those conversations and assist institutions align policy with practice. AI can help shape the submission, but students must own the thinking."

Copyleaks' continued growth reflects the evolving needs of educational institutions as AI becomes a permanent part of the classroom. Rather than simply identifying AI-generated content, the platform helps institutions put their academic integrity policies into practice through configurable AI review settings, transparent real-time trend analytics, originality insights, AI and online phrase matching, and AI Logic, which provides greater visibility into why content may have been flagged.

Institutions can also tailor AI review through Copyleaks’ configurable AI Sensitivity settings, allowing educators to align review thresholds with their school’s policies. This flexibility supports a range of approaches, from minimizing false positives in environments where AI-assisted polishing is permitted to applying more sensitive settings where AI use is restricted.

As AI continues to reshape education, Copyleaks plans to expand the capabilities available through its education platform, helping institutions gain greater transparency into student work while supporting fair, consistent, and adaptable academic integrity policies.

Copyleaks’ education momentum is also reflected in platform usage, with AI scans up 38%, as more schools and universities move on from legacy providers or adopt AI detection and originality tools for the first time.
