Does the app allow multiple markers at once, or shared marking for a submission inbox?
Be aware that This needs care and attention because syncing from your iPad isn't 'syncing' 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, syncing will overwrite any existing marks and comments. Marks will be saved from the last device marks were 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 synced and saved. This is because Turnitin only provides for a single marker at any one time.
Let's consider the following scenario. You have a large cohort submitting to a single assignment and have divided them into, say, thirds so that you can allocate each third to a different marker. One way to reduce risk of iPad overwriting marks and feedbacl feedback is to use Moodle Groupings and as many separate Turnitin assignments as there are markers, each made available only to one Grouping of students*.*
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 grouping that each Turnitin assignment is available can be set on the Turnitin Assignment's settings page and will then appear in brackets after the Assignment name (visible to staff only) so you can tell which students will be able to see it.
The instructions below will first divide the cohort into three without the confusion of displaying three alternative Turnitin Assignments to students - each student will see only their respective Assignment. 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).
