Academic integrity for Australian schools
Mark the work.
Not the suspicion.
An assessment editor that opens inside your LMS, keeps a plain record of how the work was actually written, and puts no AI writing assistant in front of your students.
No investigation needed
The record is already there when you open the document, so a tough conversation starts from what happened rather than from a feeling about a paragraph.
An honest student can authenticate it
A student who did the work has something to point at. The record protects your students at least as often as it catches them out.
One place, inside your LMS
It launches from the assessment you have already set, so there is nothing to install, no second login and no second place to check who has handed in.
Why AssessLockr?
Four things that AssessLockr does that the alternatives may not.
It stands on its own
It isn't an add-on to a subscription you have to hold first. Your school can start on Monday without holding another integrity tool.
It blocks, not just flags
Grammarly, QuillBot, Wordtune and others are stopped for the assessment, and every attempt to use one is logged. You can then allow them back for the individual students who need them.
Nothing writes for the student
There is no assistant offering to improve a paragraph. The one model in the product reads handwritten equations, and we won't add another assistant without telling you first.
Australian, and so are the Standards
Work is administered and stored in Australia. AssessLockr will assist students in meeting the Academic Integrity Standards for your local governing body or statutory authority.
The record
One page showing how the document came together.
Our progress bar shows how much was typed, how much was pasted and how much was moved around within the document. Under it, every change is recorded with its text and what it was classified as, along with time on task, sittings, words per minute and the saves that carried a large paste.
Visible to teachers only. Students are told it is being recorded before they open the document.
AI writing assistants
Blocked for the class. Permitted for the students who need it.
One setting per assessment. Rewriting tools are stopped, every attempt is logged. The editor brings its own spelling help so nothing is lost. Speech-to-text, word prediction and a scribe stay available to the students you name.
What the setting stops is spelled out in Task setup, alongside the options you grant a named student.
Group work
A shared document that shows student activity.
Several students write in one document at once, and each keeps their own record: what they typed and pasted, the time they spent, and when they joined or left. Each student hands in separately.
It is labelled activity rather than contribution, because it counts what was done, not who did the most.
Journal
The planning, research and development of ideas, all beside the student's response.
Students plan, take notes and build their Harvard reference list in the journal. When something is pasted in, it becomes an entry waiting for its source, so a student who did the reading has somewhere to show it.
“Check against my work” shows them which entries actually made it into the essay, and how much it changed from the original paste.

Included extras
Assessment from start to finish.
The sections above are what make it different. These are the rest of what it does to simplify the assessment process.
Setting the task
- Dates, document type and the rules on one screen
- A criteria sheet that opens beside the student's work
- Provide stimulus to quote from, with the quote recorded
- A Word template for easy student adaptation
- Apply extensions individually, keeping the class due date unchanged
- Hand-in straight into your LMS, once we've built the connection
- A lock-down assessment browser (Safe Exam Browser) for a task under exam conditions
Writing
- A paginated editor with the styles people expect
- A journal: the plan, the notes, the Harvard reference list
- Contents built from the headings, updated on demand
- Spelling help that belongs to the editor, not an extension
- Equations, with a Draw tab that reads handwriting
- Presentation tasks on a canvas, not only documents
- A draft, then a final with the declaration signed, all in the same place
The record
- Every change kept, not every save
- Paste captures classified and quoted, with their source
- Marking on the page: pen, highlighter, notes, threads
- Live follow: watch a student write, changing nothing
- Accessibility options granted to a specific student
- Students can take their own personal details back out
- Export as PDF, Word, or a file that reopens in AssessLockr
Privacy
Built for how schools have to handle student data.
Students are told, in plain words, what is recorded before they open a document.
Stored in Australia
Student work is not sent overseas.
School use only
Academic integrity and feedback. Never sold, never used for advertising.
Never trains AI
No student writing is used to train any model.
Names stay in your LMS
Shown live from your LMS, never kept in our database.
This website counts visits with Google Analytics. That applies to the brochure site only: no student work, and nothing from inside a school's AssessLockr, is ever sent to it.
Questions schools ask
We already have an integrity tool. Why this?
Most of them read the finished document and give you a number. This records how the document was written and shows you the working. It also stands on its own, rather than sitting on top of a subscription you have to hold first.
Does it work with our LMS?
AssessLockr opens over LTI 1.3, the standard your LMS almost certainly speaks. It is running in Schoolbox today. Tell us which one you use and we'll confirm it before you commit to anything.
Can students hand in without leaving it?
In Schoolbox, currently, the final version lands in the right assessment by itself, and the student submits once, in one place. Most other platforms have an API that would do the same, but each one is a connection we have to build, so tell us which you use and we'll say what it takes. Until then, students (or teachers on their behalf) export a PDF or a Word file and hand that in exactly as they do now.
Does it tell me a student used AI?
It shows you what happened: what was typed, pasted and reworded, and when. The judgement stays with the teacher, and the responsibility is on the student to uphold academic integrity principles.
Can students with access arrangements still use their tools?
Yes. Writing assistants can be blocked for the whole class and permitted for individual students.
Where is student work stored?
In Australia. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI.
What do students need to install?
Nothing. It runs in the browser, including on iPads.
