shared marking for a submission inbox?

Be aware that synching from your iPad isn't 'synching' in the strict sense of the word because although Turnitin technically allows different markers, it hasn't designed the software for them. So rather than merging marks and comments, synching will overwrite any existing marks and comments. Marks will be saved from the last device marks were synched from.  If the marker on the iPad app didn't have the markings of the other markers synched to the iPad app prior to creating his or her markings, then only the markers who used the iPad app will have their markings synched and saved. This is because, as Turnitin only provides for a single marker at any one time.

  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 guideUsing the Turnitin iPad App) - 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.
