Welcome to an overview of Turnitin. The first thing we'll do is create a Turnitin assignment. In the area of your course that you'd like to place a link to the assignment, click the down arrow next to 'Create Assessment' and select 'Turnitin Assignment.' The assignment page opens; you need to select the assignment type. We will look at the default Paper Assignment. By clicking radio buttons next to other assignment types you can view a definition. For the purposes of this brief demonstration, we'll select 'Paper Assignment' and click 'Next Step.' Give the assignment a title and a point value. Consider assignment dates. The default for the assignment start date is when you begin creating it. We have a due date of next week; you can click the calendar to select any day you choose. The Post Date is important because that's when students would be allowed to view GradeMark comments that an instructor makes. GradeMark comments won't be available to students until after the post date. Select any date after the start date to use as a post date. [On the post date] Students will then be able to view the GradeMark comments as well as the Originality Report. It is important to expand the 'More Options' field by clicking the plus sign. Here you can enter instructions to the students. The next question asks you to select an option to generate originality reports for submissions; be sure to select "Yes." Next, you have choices as to when to generate the originality reports. I'm choosing to do it immediately and to overwrite reports until the due date so that you keep getting a new originality report if students resubmit a paper. The are other choices that you can make but in the interest of time, I'll show the important ones here. I'm choosing to exclude quoted materials from the similarity index to keep the matches from being too high where they would not be a problem. We can exclude small matches and choose a number of words considered to be a small match. It's important to click 'Yes' next to 'Allow students to see Originality Reports.' I'm recommending that you don't I use the Grammar Check (Beta) which has been problematic for some. We're not allowing submissions after the due date and revealing only on the post date. You can choose to submit papers to 'no repository' or the 'institution paper repository.' Select to submit to institution paper repository so that we can see if students are reusing a paper that has already been submitted. Select options for search. When you've finished, click 'Submit.' You see a prompt that the assignment was successfully added; click 'OK.' Here we have the assignment link. Now, let's look at what a student will see when they submit a paper. I'm now logged in as a student. As a student, I want to view an originality report. I want to submit a paper and look at the originality report before the instructor has graded it. I'll click the link under a Turnitin assignment. This paper has been submitted already. If it was not, the link would say 'Submit.' If I resubmit the paper, it will take awhile for the originality report to generate, so I'll leave this submission here, but students would click 'Submit' and upload their paper. Here we can see that the assignment is complete. Click 'Show details.' The student can see that they have an originality report with a very low (3%) match percentage. Click the link to the paper title. Students can view the originality report for their paper by clicking the 'Originality' tab. Here we a list of matches that have come up for their paper. If they scroll down, they will see that the matches are indicated and color coded. Here's number 5, click on that. That shows the student the original material in context so they can evaluate whether or not it can be used, or should be used. Students can view the originality report and and possibly resubmit. Let's look at the options as an instructor. (logged in as instructor) Go to the Control Panel and expand Course Tools. Click the link to 'Turnitin Assignments.' These are the available Turnitin assignments; I'd like to look at the top one. (click link) We see that a student has submitted a paper and that it has 47% similarity. This paper has a grade assigned already. Expand the view. Click the 'Originality' tab in order to view the originality report. Here we see that there is a 47% match between sources and the paper contents. Each match is indicated in varying colors on the right in 'Match Overview' which is selected. This will show you all of the matches. If you click the icon for all sources, you see all of the matches in detail view. There are some matches that will include others nested within them. You can choose to exclude any of these sources from the originality report. I will select a paper here (check box) and choose to exclude it from the report. If I chose more reports, it would affect the similarity index. When you view originality you can click each color/number of matches and get a view of the match in context. I'll choose another one. (click match) Notice that I can choose 'Expand to Full Text' which will give me the the many matching items in the full source text. Here we see that there are a lot of matches from this particular source. We have a number of options for filtering the view. I'm in the originality report tab. [Select the filter icon] What we chose when we set up the assignment is shown here. We can change that if we would like. The next feature you might find every useful is the GradeMark feature. In GradeMark (click tab) you are able to use preexisting comments to put in a paper. This can help with your grading task. One of the useful features in GradeMark is that if you also click the button to the left of 'Originality' and see it turn red, that will show you any of the matches while you are grading. The matches are highlighted in red, so that while you are grading the paper you can consider originality. To put comments in the paper, you can choose to make a general comment with this icon (on bottom). Here's one that I created. You can delete it or edit it. Students see the full text when they hover the mouse over the comments. You can also put a comment in text. Here are some examples of text comments. You can choose to delete them at any time. GradeMarks are preexisting comments you might find very useful. Here are two. You can choose from a list. Here is a 'Commonly Used' list; I'm going to say that we need a citation here so I just click the GradeMark comment and and drag it over. Here we have the comment. You can see that there are links within this 'Cite Source' comment that will help the student that with determining the 'rules' of what constitutes plagiarism. You can also create your own GradeMark comments, if you click the icon that looks like a list you can choose from different libraries of comments. This would be for composition, for example, 'Awkward' and 'Wordy.' You might want to take some time to explore the different comment groups because what you need might be there. You can create your own GradeMark comment by clicking the tool icon. You can create a new set of comments or a new comment. Click the plus sign. Enter a title. Click 'Save.' The test comment should be here. It might be in the general comments but, you can create and delete your own comments and keep a clipboard of your own GradeMark comments. That is a brief overview. Remember that if you would like students to be able to view the GradeMark comments, and not just the originality report, you need to assign a grade. I'll click another paper. At any time if you'd like to see other submissions by the student, you can click the list (at the top). Here is another one that has a grade of 10 assigned. In this case I would have let the students know that if they see a very low grade like 10, that just means that the instructor is putting that in so that they can see comments that the instructor has made. If I click GradeMark, I can see that I've put in a comment to the student to review some grammatical errors and resubmit the paper. Students can see that comment, in addition to the originality report, if there is a grade submitted. Here is the paper that I showed you the student just submitted. It has an originality report generated and is not graded yet. You'll find that Turnitin can be useful in your grading tasks.
