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.

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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
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…
