Why are students sometimes getting email receipts from Turnitin when they haven't submitted anything?
If a tutor clicks on the grade pencil icon next to a student's name in a Turnitin inbox when they haven't submitted anything, the student receives an email 'digital receipt' with paper ID. Turnitin are aware of this issue and the Digital Education Services team have asked them to resolve it.
How do I allow students to submit scanned work to Turnitin?

If the assignment is set to Anonymous, how can I contact students who haven't submitted?
You may need to contact the students who haven't submitted. Finding out who has or hasn't submitted is straightforward - though not terribly obvious - and won't compromise anonymity (except by a process of elimination if the group is small, and that's a trade-off to decide about within your department)Your Turnitin inbox has a 'Notify Non-Submitters' link, which will send an email to all students yet to submit. This may work best when you allow submissions after the Due Date.
However, sometimes it's hard to reach students with email, and for pastoral outreach to happen a member of staff may need to find out who those students are.
- Log in and navigate to the Moodle area with the assignment you need to monitor.

- From the Activity Module menu, select the assignment you need to monitor.
- Choose a period of time to 'Look Back' over.
- 'Show Only' student reports.
- And finally, for 'Show Actions' select Post - which will show only students who have uploaded.
- When you're ready, click the Go button; the results then display.
- By clicking each column heading, you can sort the results for Post by Yes or No.
- Once you have identified the students who haven't submitted, the Participation Report gives you the opportunity to select their respective checkbox and send them a message - scroll to the bottom of the Report page for these options.

Turnitin also allows images to be submitted, however, these images are not checked for plagiarism as images can't currently be matched to sources. In order to submit scanned work to Turnitin, the Economics department provide students with a coversheet containing the required 20 words of text that students append to the start of their scanned PDFs of their work. In order to merge these in to one document students on a PC can use PDFMerge and students on a Mac use the pre-installed Mac Preview. On the UCL Desktop and Myriad you can use How to merge PDF documents.
