What is Rumi?

Rumi is a writing tool designed to promote academic honesty in the age of AI.

Integrated into the Canvas Assignments tool, Rumi can deter AI misuse in writing assignments. Rumi is not an AI detection tool. How it works is that Rumi records the student's writing and measures things like pasted text and the number of revisions to give you a sense of whether the student is actually writing the submission.

Students write inside Rumi

Here is an example of the student's view in Rumi. Watch this video to see Rumi from the student's perspective. 

How does Rumi prevent AI misuse?

Rumi encourages students to write in their own voice and do their own thinking. It will try and detect when students are not creating their own writing, and gathers evidence that you can use to help determine if the student is following your AI use policy.

Rumi does this by:

  1. Preventing students from copying and pasting from other sources without attribution. Whenever a student pastes text into the assignment, Rumi asks for a justification of where the text came from. You can evaluate if this is a quote, draft, or chunk of text taken from ChatGPT or elsewhere.
  2. Recording the students writing so that their instructor can evaluate their process. When students create their own work, it looks very different from when they transcribe from ChatGPT.
  3. Evaluating the students writing behavior. Rumi has a number of metrics that help you see, at a high level, which submissions need to be evaluated for unethical AI use.
  4. Allowing students to use AI tools that you have approved and records those interactions for you to review.
