Architecture - Setting up a Turnitin Assignment

Overview

Turnitin is UCL's academic writing and plagiarism prevention tool. It can receive student submissions and match their work up against other sources, such as past papers, journals, websites, some books and other related academic sources. Upon submission it provides a similarity index, which helps to show if the paper is closely matching other sources. It does not detect plagiarism, nor does a high or low index give an indication of good or bad work.
Instead it is a tool for academic writing, especially when students can view their Originality Reports. Turnitin is integrated directly your Moodle course.
