Institutional partners retain the copyright of uploaded materials. Uploaded digital materials (e-books, journal articles, white papers, databases) are used purely for reference purposes in running plagiarism checks with the mLaP Service. They are indexed and “finger-printed” moodLearning Search only on request by an institutional partner.
Papers or materials uploaded by individuals within an mLaP institutional installation would figure in the results screen if portions (or the entirety) of such materials are found to be statistically similar to the other submissions. Only those with teacher role can view the actual results of mLaP scans in a course.
Institutional partners that upload papers or materials en masse are advised to de-identify such papers or to remove personal identifiers found in such documents. What can or cannot be uploaded en masse is a decision left entirely to partner institutions.
A partner institution can opt out of the mLaP Service by requesting that its documents uploaded en masse be deleted from the reference documents.
Upon completion of their courses, individuals who have uploaded articles or assignments to learning management system (LMS) on which the mLaP Service runs, may request to have their accounts deleted from the system, subject to the concurrence of the institutional partner.
