Editor's Notes
- If you are new to Turnitin – it is a text matching or plagiarism detection software. The main change is that students no longer has direct access to Turnitin and it is upto the module leader to set up or activate turnitin feature on StudyNet when setting up the assignment.
- As a module leader, when you are creating an assignment (steps shown on screen), ensure you click on activate Turnitin for students. Please note, with the process changes, students must no have direct access to the software as this may conflict with submission via StudyNet.
- When select Set up a new assignment, once you have filled the assignment title, hand-in dates/times, by default yes radio button is selected to allow turnitin submission.
- When the assignment link is live on StudyNet site, the students get an additional link ‘Submit draft to Turnitin’ . Student submissions to this link will not be saved in the repository. Students get 2 chances to submit their draft versions before final submission the usual way. It is advised to leave 24 hour gap after the first submission allowing the software time to create similarity indexes. Once the student uses both chances to upload drafts to make any amendments before final submission, they will get a notification saying ‘no further draft Turnitin submissions permitted for this assignment’. When students hit the refresh page button they will see the similarity index appear if the report is available. Depending on the file size, allocate about 1 hours for the index to appear.
- As tutors, if you want to see how many students have taken up the opportunity to submit draft submissions, you can click on Turnitin submissions which will give you a list of users. At this stage, you cannot see the originality report which I will expand in my next slide.
- Once the deadline has passed, on StudyNet, you now have the option to Download all submissions as a Zip file. If you have Assignment File Downloader software downloaded, you can choose to download the assignments through that. Depending on the number of assignments, please allow time for
- Your assignment should be listed on the Active Classes list so you only need to follow: Step 1: click on the assignment link
- Requirements for zip file upload: Can contain a max of 1000 papers The zip file must be less than 200 MB Individual files must be less than 20 MB each Individual files must have at least 20 words of text The maximum paper length for individual files is 400 pages each File types allowed: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML, RTF, OpenOffice (ODT), Hangul (HWP), Google Docs, and plain text
- Some key points to mention about interpreting reports: A high similarity match does not necessarily mean plagiarism or copying. It could be because: A low match does not necessarily mean that cheating has not occurred. There is an overuse of direct quotations within the work Common phrases or series of words are being used that are the same Marking grids attached to the final documents as requested
