Does anyone know why TurnItIn is no longer showing under External Tools when creating or editing assignments? It was there in December, but is no longer showing up.
Hi @CatherineLittle,
Turnitin is a system what a school/institution would pay for separately from Canvas. My guess is that your school/institution administration decided not to renew their Turnitin license. You could reach out to your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to confirm my suspicion. If I'm wrong, that team should be able to investigate and fix whatever the issue might actually be.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
