The problem every educator faces
Traditional grading only sees the final document. It cannot tell you whether a student wrote steadily over two weeks or pasted everything the night before.
Is this AI-generated or copy-pasted?
Text blocks that appear instantly in a single paste event are a clear signal. DataScrut flags every paste with its size, timing, and the author who pasted it.
Who actually did the work in this group?
Group assignments hide free-riders. DataScrut shows each member's organic contribution — words typed, not pasted — so fairness is visible at a glance.
Did they write this before the assignment opened?
Time-window compliance shows exactly which edits happened outside the allowed window — essential for timed tests and controlled writing tasks.
How it works
No complicated setup. No student accounts. Works on any Google Doc you have viewer access to.
Add DataScrut to Chrome in one click. A button appears in the Google Docs toolbar next to your account icon — no configuration needed.
Click Analyze on any Google Doc. The side panel shows active time, sessions, paste events, and group contribution. Tag authors, then download the JSON report.
Sign in above and drop your JSON reports into the dashboard. See class-wide analytics, compare groups, review the timeline, and export to CSV.
Features
The session timeline plots every writing session as a coloured bar across the assignment period. Spot last-minute submissions, suspicious overlap, and students who never engaged.
Cumulative word charts, daily activity bars, and hour-of-day breakdowns — all colour-coded by author. Immediately see who built work steadily versus who submitted in a single burst.
Every large paste event is logged with its timestamp, size, and author. Jump directly to that moment in the document playback to see exactly what was pasted.
Each member's organic contribution is calculated and a fairness index is computed per group. Contribution imbalances are flagged automatically.
