- Anonymous marking: see below for a definition and explanation.
- Bulk-download: downloading the contents of a submission inbox for marking outside Turnitin.
- Candidate number: a unique identifier (four letters and one digit) which students receive annually.
- Combinations of blind/open, full/sampled second marking: refer to the UCL Marking Policy*.
- External examining: refer to the UCL Marking Policy.
- Grademark: Turnitin's own marking environment.
- Intermediary: somebody without marking responsibilities, perhaps in an administrative or technical role.
- Markings: all notes, specific and general comments, and numeric marks made by markers.
- Moderating: refer to the UCL Marking Policy.
- Moodle Assignment: Moodle offers a separate online assessment environment. Its marking and feedback possibilities currently differ from Turnitin's. Only Turnitin offers an Originality Report, and Turnitin's suite of online annotation tools is slightly more developed.
- Paper ID: a numeric identifier unique to each paper, generated by Turnitin, but currently irrelevant outside Turnitin.
- Post Date: point at which marks and feedback are released to students (at this point student anonymity is lifted, and bulk download of student submissions by staff becomes available).
- Proxy identifier: see below for a definition and explanation.
- Student Record Number (SRN): this appears on the front of every student's ID card.
- Submission filename: the name of the file(s) submitted; this becomes important in cases where students' work is downloaded for marking outside Turnitin.
- Submission title: the title students type into Turnitin when submitting their work. This displays in the Turnitin inbox and can be used to allocate submissions to subject specialist markers.
- turnitinuk.com: allows access (where there are existing permissions) to a Turnitin submission inbox independently of Moodle; affords downloading of Grademarked work and - though only after the Post Date - original unmarked work. Please note Digital Education is unable to offer technical support for your activities on turnitinuk.com - however, Turnitin does offer support.
- Window of opportunity: a phrase used in this guidance to refer to a period just after Grademarking (if used) is complete and just before the Post Date de-anonymises students. During this window the still-anonymous, Grademarked submissions, complete with markings, can be downloaded from turnitinuk.com for distribution to other markers outside Turnitin after the Post Date. The window of opportunity is negotiated by course leaders, markers and intermediaries.

Can staff bulk-download an entire inbox of anonymous submissions directly from turnitinuk.com?Before the Post Date turnitinuk.com allows staff to bulk-download only submissions which have been Grademarked; these retain their anonymity. Only after the Post Date can original files be downloaded – but after the Post Date Turnitin prefixes each file name with the student's name, thus compromising anonymity. In this case, an intermediary would manually need to re-anonymise the submissions by removing or redacting these names. Moodle Assignment, on the other hand, allows bulk-download of anonymous work at any time until the marks are released to
studentsYes, this became possible in 2016.
Do markers need to be excluded from a Moodle area containing an assignment after that assignment's Post Date?
