About Turnitin


Turnitin is a cloud-based solution with capabilities in originality checking and online grading through the use of their OriginalityCheck and GradeMark tools. Turnitin saves instructors time and facilitates personalized feedback for learners.

OriginalityCheck enables you to monitor Assignment submissions and identify potential cases of plagiarism by automatically comparing submissions to an online database of original content. You can then view Originality Reports which highlight key areas, show a breakdown of matching sources, and provide direct links to the matching content.

You can also take advantage of the integrated GradeMark which enables you to add comments, inline text, and highlight sections in file submissions, directly from the Assignments tool.

OriginalityCheck and GradeMark features are enabled through integration with Turnitin from iParadigms, LLC. For more information about these features, see Turnitin Integration on iLearn App Finder.

Note: The use of Turnitin combined with the special access features in the Assignments tool is not supported. If you set a due date for a user with special access that is different than the due date set on the Turnitin tab, the Turnitin due date does not change.
