Turnitin

Overview

TurnItIn is a cloud-based service that does originality checking, online grading, and peer review that saves instructors time and provides rich feedback to students. TurnItIn helps instructors check students' work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against a text comparison database.

TurnItIn is a tool that:

  • Helps instructors by indicating parts in student's assessments that use very similar words to other documents in their database.
  • Generates a report based on the percentage of similarities between student's assessments and other works in the database. This is called the Originality Report.

To use our Turnitin integration you must have a Turnitin account or create a new one. Please note that we are using Turnitin Feedback Studio.
