(STOCKHOLM, 08 December 2020) – Ouriginal<\/strong>, Europe\u2019s leading provider of text-matching solutions for plagiarism prevention and text-similarity detection, has published its latest study today. Using numerical analysis of the usage patterns of Ouriginal\u2019s solutions, the study reveals how lockdowns and the forced digitalization of learning environments have affected education worldwide. The three metrics chosen for the study indicate that whereas EdTech solutions have broadly increased their overall acceptance level, students do need their teachers\u2019 guidance and encouragement even more in digital learning surroundings.

The sudden digitalization of the classroom in 2020 is certainly a unique testing ground for remote teaching and learning for millions of educators and students worldwide.

\u201cIt is without question that the sudden move from a traditional classroom teaching setting to a fully remote and digital environment has been a stress test for educators and students alike. From an EdTech solution point of view, we were curious to see if there was any measurable effect of the pandemic on our product usage patterns,\u201d says Andreas Ohlson, CEO of Ouriginal. \u201cWe wanted to know: Would we see more documents being checked during times of lockdowns or less? Would it affect the length of student\u2019s assignments and papers? When looking at the numbers, we were actually amazed at what we found.\u201d<\/p>\n
