Turnitin Assignment

TurnItIn

TurnItIn can help to improve student writing one draft at a time. Instructors can save time with easy-to-use feedback and grading features. Use it to cultivate literacy skills with tools that support best practice, standards-aligned writing instruction and set students up for success. It can be used to foster critical thinking skills and encourage creative, confident writers.

By default Turnitin is activated in all Canvas courses. There are two methods for using Turnitin (both are described here):

  1. Assignments with plagiarism checker (use this method if you only want to receive a Similarity Report on the submitted assignments and view the AI Detection score).
  2. Assignments that will be graded using the Turnitin framework in Canvas (this method allows you to use PeerMark, QuickMarks, and the Turnitin Feedback Studio for markup and grading).

Working with Assignments using the Plagiarism Checker

  • Turn on the Plagiarism Checker when you create your assignment in Canvas.
  • Students submit their work to the Assignment in Canvas. Turnitin scans the student submission, comparing this work to a large database of student work, publications, and materials on the Internet and generating a Similarity Report detailing how much of a student's work matches work in the database.
  • The Similarity Report for each Student's assignment is available in Speedgrader in Canvas.
