This document provides training on using JISC Turnitin through Blackboard. It explains how to set up a Turnitin assignment in Blackboard, how students can submit assignments, and how instructors can download submissions and view originality reports. The training also covers using Blackboard's native assignment tool to set up assignments without Turnitin and allow students to submit work. Key benefits are highlighted such as promoting academic integrity and providing online assessment and feedback.

13. 2. To set up Turnitin assignment in BlackboardSteps (Blackboard): Log into BlackboardSelect any of your teaching module Click on the “Assessment” buttonClick on the “EDIT VIEW” (top right corner)Select “Turnitin UK Assignment”Click on “Go” button 13

14. 2. To set up Turnitin assignment in BlackboardSteps (Turnitin): Assignment Title: Assignment – [Your Name] Point Value: 100Start Date: [Today date] [now] Due Date: [Today date] [1 hour later]Post Date: [20 days from the due date] 12.00am(Must be set after the due date)The University norm for electronic submission is Midnight (or 11.59 p.m or 12.00am the next day) on the day of submission; or 4.00pm if you require hard copies. This is when marked assignments will become visible to students. At Glamorgan this is 20 working days maximum, though lecturers could choose to promise an earlier return date.14

15. There are two recommendations for you: Set the actual due date as the Turnitin “Due Date”. On that date staff may then do one of the following: Require students’ late submission via e-mail and staff could manually submit those late submissions to TurnitinAlternatively, click on the “More Option”, set “Yes” to “Allow submissions after the due date?”, thus avoiding having to take manual action on the submission date. However, this cannot limit the maximum “5-day” late submission. When enabled, students will be able to submit papers after the due date and time has passed as long as that student has not already submitted a paper to the assignment (even after the 5-day).Student submissions after the due date and time will be marked with red text in the date column of the submission in the assignment inbox.A student cannot overwrite a submission past the assignment due date and time, even if the late submission option is enabled. 15The 5 day late submission policy…

16. Given that late submissions are supposed to be the exception not the rule - we would strongly recommend not putting the late submission date as the submission date in Turnitin assignments as this is visible to students via Blackboard. Using the late submission date would provide an opportunity for confusion for those students wishing to submit when they can achieve the full range of marks. 16

17. Steps (Turnitin): More Options: Instruction: “Use this link to submit your assignment. Full details for the requirements of this assignment can be found on this page in the file titled ‘Coursework Guidance’. Shortly after you have submitted your assignment via the View/Complete link you will be able to use this same link to view your originality report. By submitting your assignment through the following link, you have agreed to declare that this assignment is your own work and that the sources of information and material you have used (including the internet) have been fully identified and properly acknowledged as required in the referencing guidelines provided.”

35. 2. To interpret the originality report1. Go to “Control Panel” and click on:  “TurnitinUK Assignments”  “>>View” 2. Sorting by column headerClick any of the column names with a downward pointing arrow to the right. Click a second time to re-sort in the opposite direction, e.g. A-Z becomes Z-A3. Select the percentage indication bar under “report” heading to view the Originality Report. 22

36. 2. To interpret the originality reportWhat is a Originality Report? It is Turnitin’s analysis of the submitted assignment, identifying any sections with matched text which may indicate plagiarism.An Originality Report is typically generated within 10 to 15 minutes of submission. The report generation time may vary due to the levels of usage during certain periods of the academic year or due to a very large submission.Pedagogically, it is not meant to penalise a student but to improve their academic integrity by avoiding plagiarism. 23

38. 2. To interpret the originality report1. The Originality Report is separated into three main sections in the default view: Top section: a summary of the assignment and submission information.Left section: assignment text with highlighted area for potential plagiarism detected (Note: exclude quoted or exclude bibliography). Right section: information about sources which match the text. 2. The functions for excluding material are approximate and human judgement has to be used to determine if this is a case of poor referencing (which would get a poor mark) or plagiarism which is an academic offence.3. Quotations can only be excluded if the quotation is shown with block-indentation or with quotation marks (“”) at the start and end.25

39. 26The color of the report icon indicates the overall similarity index of the paper, based on the amount of matching or similar text that was uncovered. The possible similarity indices are: Blue - no matching text

40. Green - one word to 24% matching text

41. Yellow - 25-49% matching text

42. Orange - 50-74% matching text

43. Red - 75-100% matching text IMPORTANT: These indices DO NOT reflect Turnitin’s assessment of whether a paper has or has not been plagiarised. Originality Reports are simply a tool to help an instructor and student find sources that contain text similar to submitted papers. The decision to deem any work plagiarised must be made carefully, and only after in depth examination of both the submitted paper and suspect sources in accordance with the standards of the class and institution where the paper was submitted.
