Welcome back, teachers! We’re excited to kick off the school year with updates shaped directly by your feedback. Thank you to the teachers and school leaders who shared their ideas to make Mojo better. Looking forward to another great year supporting you and your students with Coursemojo!
We want to update you on new features that are available now. Quick overview below—details and how-tos follow in the body of this message.
- Copy-Paste Flag (most requested): Quickly spot pasted text so you can coach citing, paraphrasing, and original work.
- Multi-Step Writing Activities (“Essays”): Break larger prompts into manageable steps with checkpoints for drafting and revision.
- Download Scores: Export scores to PDF or CSV for easy gradebook imports and offline records.
🟠 Copy-Paste Flag: You will now be able to instantly spot pasted text so you can coach citing, paraphrasing, and original work. Anytime a student copy-pastes text without any original content, you will be alerted with an orange dot on the dashboard. Remember, this flag doesn’t always mean that plagiarism has occurred, but it does mean you should review the transcript to assess academic integrity.

Note about the flag: The flag is not fool-proof — it may not trigger if students modify pasted text (e.g., add characters). Please check individual transcripts and use your judgment when reviewing. You will also still see orange dots for students using inappropriate language. You will be able to differentiate the two flags when you click the dot.
📝 Multi-Step Writing Activities: These new activities are aligned to multi-paragraph essay prompts in your curriculum. These activities will support students with chunking larger writing prompts, selecting aligned evidence, and moving through the process of drafting and revision. You will be able to monitor student progress with the dashboard. In your curriculum overviews, these activities are labeled as “Essays”. Please watch this short video to understand how these activities work before you assign to your students.
💯 Download Scores: You can now download student scores on the daily exit ticket/target task (this now includes multiple choice scores as well). You can download either a PDF or a CSV file to support gradebook imports, deeper analysis, and maintain offline records.
