Turnitin v2 Specific FAQs
Allows Post Date to be sooner than the Due Date
With regards to having the post date set before the due date. This is a feature which has been introduced by design, as it gives the ability for instructors to provide feedback to students who have submitted an assignment, perhaps a first draft. This will allow students to view initial feedback, continue to progress with their assignment and resubmit their assignment until the final due date. This feature is available in submit.ac.uk and is therefore available in all LMS’/ VLE's
Issues Turnitin are aware of and we are awaiting a fix
- Turnitin activity not being logged in Moodle report logs.
- Submitting .docx files flaky, does not always submit to Turnitin. Despite receipt number being generated.
- Inconsistent upload of Word for Mac files. Sometimes ok, sometimes loads first few pages, sometimes stuck/not submitted.
- Message “Resubmissions are allowed for this assignment until the due date passes. Any and all marks will be deleted when or if the paper is resubmitted. Would you like to continue?” This does not affect the marks if it is after the due date.
- Quickmark Manager help link (bottom left of window) is broken.
- PeerMark date validation warning obscures date.
