What is it?
Turnitin, used via Moodle, is a platform for setting, receiving, marking and giving feedback on assignments. Turnitin accepts a range of file formats. For text submissions, it can be set to generate a Similarity/Originality Report. This means it will compare submitted work against a host of databases and highlight where similarities have been found in text.

- 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).
- Enter a Turnitin Assignment Name
- Enter a Summary, include brief instructions to students on submission deadline, draft submissions, file type etc. Summary text will display at the top of the assignment page (A template is provided below).
- Some settings we'd particularly like to flag up:
- Anonymous Marking -This is enabled by default if you create a new Assignment, if you are re-using an existing assignment, please check the settings before making it Visible to students. 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. If no submissions have yet been made, anonymity can be turned on or off by selecting Edit settings > Anonymous marking: Yes / No.
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.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and display.
