Stop guessing who wrote it.
AI detectors flag honest students and miss dishonest ones. Folio Classroom replaces the guessing game: every submission arrives with a verifiable record of how it was actually written, the process, the citations, the AI use.

What a reader can check
An instructor opening a submission sees the same three things an integrity report shows a researcher: the writing process as it actually happened, a cryptographically linked revision history rather than a reconstruction after a flag; the citations, checked against CrossRef rather than trusted on formatting alone; and any AI assistance the student used, disclosed rather than inferred from a detector’s guess. Every row links to the public verify page, so the record is checkable by anyone holding the certificate code, not only inside your roster. It answers the question a detector cannot: not whether the writing looks machine-made, but whether it happened the way the student says it did.
Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating assignments and collecting verified submissions is free, and students submit on free accounts. Folio makes money on optional research power tools, not on grading integrity.
Do students have to write inside Folio?
The certificate attests the writing that happens in Folio — that’s what makes it evidence. Students can import existing work (DOCX and more), but the strongest process record comes from drafting in Folio.
Is this an AI detector?
No — it’s the opposite. Detectors guess from the final text and get it wrong in both directions. Folio records how the document actually came together and shows you the evidence. Only a “single burst” history is a red flag; honest work shows its process.
What about student privacy?
Joining an assignment shares the student’s name and email with you — and the page tells them so before they join. The certificate shows process facts (counts, timeline shape), never the document text itself.
Can I grade and keep grades in Folio?
Yes. Grade each submission inline — a grade, written feedback, and a score for each rubric criterion — right where you read it. A course-wide gradebook then lines every student up across every assignment with per-class averages, a grade distribution, and CSV export. Folio replaces the spreadsheet, not just the detector.
I already collected work elsewhere — can I still verify it?
Yes. If students published certificates, paste any batch of certificate codes at usefolio.co/check.
