Introduction

Reveal content matches in student writing. Help students take ownership of their work and practice proper citation. Students see source matches and instructor feedback directly on their work, or in a conveniently formatted downloadable report. Reach your students with voice and text comments on specific phrases or entire assignments. Save time with custom or pre-defined drag-and-drop sets of customizable comments. Grade objectively and consistently with standards-aligned rubrics and show students how specific parts of their work affect their grade. Automatically distribute work and collect student feedback anonymously.

Getting Started

Instructor Resources

Using TurnItIn with your Canvas course

To require TurnItIn on an assignment in your Canvas course, use the Creating an assignment guide on the TurnItIn website.

Notes:

  • If you duplicate a Canvas assignment that has ‘Plagiarism Review = TurnItIn’, the duplicate will default to ‘Plagiarism Review = None’. You will need to configure the TurnItIn settings again in the duplicated assignment if you want to receive a plagiarism similarity report.
  • If you import an assignment from another Canvas course, the TurnItIn settings will be preserved. Caveat: If you import from a course that used the external tool rather than the new TurnItIn Framework tool, the original settings SHOULD transfer correctly but check it over carefully!
  • The TurnItIn Instructor Guides are a great source of information. However, it is worth noting that the “copying a course” guide does not apply to ISU instructors.
