External Tool Assignment and Turnitin

I like using the External Tool feature for the type of assignment submission so that the Canvas assignment and Google Docs immediately integrate and make the "submit" button available for students. However, I don't see that there is an option to utilize Turnitin when using the External Tool Assignment feature. Is this possible?

My gut instinct tells me the answer is "no" on this...as I don't believe you can have two different external tool LTIs (Google and Turnitin) assigned to the same assignment and expect them to work together. I think you have to choose one or the other. Or, set up two assignments...one using Google and the other using Turnitin...which may not be ideal for your situation. 😕

Hello @ptrentham

As far as I understand you want to use 2 external tools within a Canvas assignment. Am I right? The best solution would be to raise a support ticket to consult with Canvas Support Team since they manage the Canvas assignment settings and may assist you.

Take care!

Hello @ptrentham. I know this is from awhile back - and I'm researching this exact issue for our institution at the moment. We currently have had to go with 2 assignments - one for the work in progress and then a 'Final Submissions' assignment where students upload a PDF of their Google Doc. I'm curious if you have found a better solution - or how you all are handling this. Thank you!

Overlapping Scroll Bars
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
