Ou can be used by all academic workers of the university. Students can´t use the system independently, uploading documents is possible in cooperation with lecturer etc.

 

  • Ouriginal can be used by all academic staff members of the university. You can log in HERE

  • Students can´t use the program independently. Students can upload their work to the system, but the result report is sent to the lecturer.

    NB! The lecturer analysis address is not the e-mail address of EMÜ. It is a special address created by Ouriginal, looks like "name.lastname.emu@analysis.urkund.com". Lecturer analysis address should be sent to the student so they could send the document to plagiarism detection program.
