About Turnitin-enabled assignment submission folders


Consider the following when creating or editing your Turnitin-enabled assignment submission folder:

  • When creating a new assignment submission folder, the name of the folder in Turnitin truncates after 99 characters, even though the Name field accepts 128 characters.
  • When you copy course components from one course to another, confirm that all settings are configured for the Turnitin-enabled assignment submission folders in the new course.
  • If you want learners to see instructions on the Submit Files page, you must enter them into the Instructions rich text field in the Properties tab. These instructions are automatically transferred into Turnitin. Any instructions you enter in the Properties tab overwrite instructions entered into Turnitin.
  • If GradeMark is activated for your org unit, in the Turnitin tab, the GradeMark Available to Learners date defaults to the current date and time, plus 7 days. In the Restrictions tab, if you select Has End Date, the GradeMark Available to Learners date automatically sets to the end date, plus 1 day. You can change either of these dates if needed.
  • If you want learners to see the Originality Score link to Turnitin:
    • Your administrator must map their role to the Student IMS role.
    • In the Properties tab, ensure Allow learners to see Turnitin similarity scores in their assignment submissions folder is selected. This option is selected by default.
    • In Turnitin, under Optional Settings, ensure Allow students to view Originality Reports? is set to Yes. This option is set to Yes by default.
  • In the Properties tab, if you select Allow learners to see Turnitin similarity scores in their assignment submissions folder, the equivalent option in Turnitin called Allow students to view Originality Reports? is automatically set to Yes.
  • In Turnitin, under Optional Settings, Allow late submissions? defaults to Yes. This means you don't need to change end dates to allow learners to submit late assignments.
