Note that installing Apple iOS upgrades before Turnitin has released a compatible upgrade to its iPad app may interfere with the running of the app. There are alternatives for avoiding this. One is to delay upgrading iOS until Turnitin has caught up and released a compatible version; the other is to upgrade iOS but avoid using the app until there is a new version. A third is to upgrade one or the other and then proceed with caution, testing dummy submissions first, synching syncing a few at a time and checking carefully. |

Does the app allow multiple markers at once, or shared marking for a submission inbox?
Be aware that synching syncing from your iPad isn't 'synchingsyncing' 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 syncing will overwrite any existing marks and comments. Marks will be saved from the last device marks were synched synced 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 synced and saved. This is because, as Turnitin only provides for a single marker at any one time.
So, the scenario is that you Let's consider the following scenario. You have a large cohort submitting to a single assignment , and have divided them into, say, three groups and allocated each group thirds so that you can allocate each third to a different marker. One way to reduce risk of iPad overwriting is to use Moodle Groupings and as many separate Turnitin assignments as there are markers, each made available only to a single one Grouping. What is a Grouping? Whereas enabling Groups for an Activity still means that the Activity is available to all students, creating a Grouping of one or more Groups allows an Activity or a Resource to be made available to just some students.
The instructions below will first divide the cohort into three without confusing students by the confusion of displaying three alternative Turnitin Assignments to students - each student will see only their respective Assignment. They will 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).
- 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.
- As well as adding students, add the marker to the Group.
- 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.
- Add each Group to its respective Grouping.
- Next, create (in this scenario) three separate Turnitin assignments.
- For each, enable its Grouping, and check the Available for group members only box to restrict access to just that Grouping.
- Yes, it's a bit confusing the first time round.
Second marking? Ensure that the first round of marking is completed before allowing the second marker access to each first marker's cohort. That way when the second marker syncs to the iPad, that sync will include the first marker's markings.
How can I see an Originality Report?
