Analyze Google Docs revision history to measure student writing effort, time-on-task, and group contribution. DataScrut reads the revision history of a Google Doc you have access to and shows you HOW a document was written — not just what was submitted. See who typed what, when they wrote it, how much was copy-pasted, and whether every group member contributed fairly. All analysis happens locally in your browser — document content and student names never leave your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension — a button appears next to your Google account icon inside any Google Doc. 2. Click Analyze — the side panel shows active time, sessions, paste events, and (for group docs) each author's contribution. 3. Tag authors, download the JSON report, and upload it to your free dashboard at datascrut.com for class-wide charts, timelines, and flags. WHAT YOU GET - Writing session timeline — see exactly when each student was active - Paste detection — every large paste event flagged with timing, size, and author - Group fairness — organic contribution % per member, free-rider flags - Time-window compliance — highlights edits made outside an assignment window - Activity charts — cumulative words, daily activity, hour-of-day breakdowns - Batch mode — process many documents in one run - Full class dashboard at datascrut.com — upload reports, export to CSV IMPORTANT: DataScrut surfaces signals — large single-paste insertions, unusual timing, low engagement — that are useful indicators for further review. They are not proof of misconduct. Always follow your institution's academic integrity procedures. PRIVACY - Document content and revision text never leave your browser - No student names, emails, or IDs are sent to our servers - The extension stores a random anonymous install ID locally, used only for aggregate usage counts - Full privacy policy: https://www.datascrut.com/privacy.html Free for educators. No student accounts needed. No credit card required.
