Greetings, where do i find Turnitin?
Hello there, @VimbaMazibuko ...
Turnitin is a separate software product that can be integrated with your school's Canvas environment. Generally speaking, there is usually a cost to the school in order to get this integration set up between Turnitin and Canvas. Your school's Canvas administrator team (or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team) would be the ones who talk with the folks from Turnitin to get all the necessary directions to get Turnitin configured within Canvas. Depending on if your school has purchased the Turnitin integration or not, that will determine if you can use Turnitin at your school.
The next question would be...are you an instructor or a student? If you are an instructor, then Turnitin would be an option for you to select from as you are editing the details of your Canvas assignment within your course. Once you establish the details of the Canvas assignment with the Turnitin integration, then submissions from your students will be scanned for plagiarism using Turnitin. If you are a student, your instructor should let you know that your assignment will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin once the assignment is submitted.
I'd highly recommend that you check with your school's Canvas admin or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team to see if they have Turnitin integrated at your school. Hopefully they will be able to give you more information on if you can use it to check for plagiarism. Good luck to you!
When viewing a student submission, "Error while processing or retrieving the document" is shown in Speedgrader. The PDF can be read when downloaded, but this slows grading time down a lot. What can I tell the student to do differently? Is this a known bug?
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
