What is it?

...

• Set up some Test Student Accounts so that you can try out your assignment from a student point of view. Only this will allow you to anticipate what instructions students will need, and where they should be displayed.
• Consider the kinds of feedback you will give. If you have a Quickmark Set or Rubric you are expected to use, ensure you have access to that. 
• Organise a hands-on demonstration session for any other colleagues who will be using Turnitin in the way you anticipate, but are unfamiliar with Turnitin (students are sensitive to inconsistencies of marking approach).
• Think about the instructions you will give students, including about engaging with their feedback.
• Have the agreed dates for deadlines and release of marks to hand.
• If you are marking anonymously and need to keep copies of still-anonymous submissions e.g. for External Examiner use later, then write a diary note to download these before anonymity is lifted when marks are released.

How do I set one up?

...

1. To add a Turnitin assignment to your course, Turn editing on, then click on the Add an activity or resource link and select Assignment (Turnitin V2).
2. Enter a Turnitin Assignment Name and Summary (which you can display if you wish).
3. Most of the time you can leave all the default settings as they are. However you should consider these important settings:
   
   • Anonymous Marking - Student names will be anonymised until the post date and can only be de-anonymised individually and by providing a reason. Once a submission is made, anonymous marking cannot be disabled.

   • Originality Report Options > Store Student Papers :

     • Standard Repository: student papers submitted to this assignment are stored in Turnitin and checked against other students' submissions within this assignment, as well as other sources.

     • No repository - (not stored in Turnitin, for drafts/testing): student papers are checked against other sources, but not against other submissions to this assignment and the paper is not stored in Turnitin. Use this for testing Turnitin and for drafts, so other  (standard repository) submissions won't be matched to it.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and display.
