This guide is for staff using the Turnitin iPad App to mark students' work in Turnitin. 


Warning
titleWarning

iPad users, be aware that because syncing overwrites data, multiple markers need to coordinate with extreme caution. ISD is unable to offer technical support for the iPad app.

First things first: caveats and notices

...

  • make sure the assignment in question has at least one submission in it (otherwise you can't get to its Document Viewer to generate a unique access code)
  • and have you linked your app to TurnitinUK yet? Do that first - Turnitin has instructions.

Next Turnitin has step-by step guidance for generating the code and entering it into the app.

...

The only reason we can think of that you'd need to do this is to test out the app before your students submit - for this kind of familiarisation we've provided some test assignments for you to work with. These are available on the Moodle E-Learning Champions Network (open to all staff) in a Turnitin Assignment titled Turnitin iPad app trial run, test papers.

Otherwise, the answer is yes, if you log into your Moodle course using a Test Moodle Account and submit a dummy submission. Contact digi-ed@ucl.ac.uk for details.

The instructions below first divide the cohort into three without the confusion of displaying three alternative Turnitin Assignments to students - each student will see only their respective Assignment. Next, the instructions match each Turnitin Assignment with its marker - this means that if that marker uses the iPad app and then syncs markings back to Turnitin, they will not overwrite any other marker's markings (as long as each marker is the exclusive marker on that Assignment).

  1. First, create Groups (see the M13 guide) based on which students are allocated to which markers - i.e. one Group per marker. It makes sense to use each marker's name as a Group title.
  2. As well as adding students, add the marker to the Group.
  3. Next, create Groupings (see the M13 guide) - again one per marker. Since in this case, they map directly onto the Groups you made above, you can give the Groupings the same titles.
  4. Add each Group to its respective Grouping.
  5. Next, create (in this scenario) three separate Turnitin assignments.
  6. For each, enable its Grouping, and check the Available for group members only box to restrict access to just that Grouping.
  7. Yes, it's a bit confusing the first time round.

Alternatively, you can use the Bulk Enrolment block to assign students to groups and groupings en masse, by uploading a csv CSV file of the students and the group they belong in (see the M34 guide: Using the Bulk Enrolment block for instructions).
