Issue | Status | Workaround or Reasoning |
---|---|---|
When a teacher clicks rubric icon on the assignment submission page to preview rubric, it shows a different rubric to the one they attached. | Expected behaviour | When a teacher clicks the rubric icon it opens the rubric editor and shows the first rubric in their library. When students click the same icon they will see the rubric attached to the assignment. To check your rubric and assignment are setup correctly use a test student account. |
Allows Post Date to be sooner than the Due Date. | Expected behaviour | This is a feature which has been introduced by design, as it gives the ability for instructors to provide feedback to students who have submitted an assignment, perhaps a first draft. This will allow students to view initial feedback, continue to progress with their assignment and resubmit their assignment until the final due date. |
When, as a student, you preview a rubric in Turnitin, the Close button doesn't work in Firefox. | Turnitin unable to fix | Please use the 'Close' link top right of screen instead. |
Tutor can be submit on behalf of student after due/ post date. | Expected Behaviour | Instructors have the ability to resubmit submit papers after the assignment due date, until the class expires, at which time the class becomes read-only. This option allows instructors to resubmit for a student in case the wrong paper was submitted. |
Inconsistent upload of Word for Mac files. Sometimes file can be submitted without problems,however, on occasion, Turnitin will fail to process the whole document. | Turnitin unable to fix | Open and save the file from Windows Office software. Save as PDF and resubmit paper. |

Issue: Pasting text into the Feedback comments area from word processers such as Microsoft word causes the screen to freeze and/or only allows a minimal amount of text to be entered ( the limit should be 5000 characters). This is due to extra formatting being pasted into the comments section making it un-editable. Workaround: Text should be pasted from plain text editors such as Notepad or Textedit | 5th March 2018 | 7th March 2018 RF Ticket- 02877310 |
