Turnitin.com, Part 2.

Continuing with information from the Turnitin.com Instructional Guide (https://guides.turnitin.com/01_Manuals_and_Guides/Instructor/Instructor_QuickStart_Guide.).

Step 4 - Creating a New Assignment
Within your class homepage click on the 'Add Assignment' button to create an assignment.

Enter an assignment title and choose a start and due date for the assignment.
The default assignment submission option is to 'Allow only file types that Turnitin can check for originality' but for non-writing assignments instructors can select 'Allow any file type.' If 'Allow any file type' is selected instructors are able to leave feedback on and download submitted files but Turnitin may not be able to generate Originality Reports or display the uploaded file within the Document Viewer.

Originality Reports can be generated for the following file types
  • Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML, RTF, OpenOffice (ODT), Hangul (HWP), Google Docs (submitted via the Google Drive submission option), plain text files
Students will be able to submit their papers to the assignment starting on the start date and until the due date passes. Click 'Submit' to add the assignment to your class homepage.

Step 5 - Submitting a Paper as an Instructor
If you want to submit papers yourself, click on the "View" link to the right of the paper assignment to open the assignment inbox and then click on the "Submit Paper" button.

On the paper submission page, enter the paper's title and select the author's name from the author pulldown menu for enrolled students.
Users have a choice to upload a file from: the computer, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Click on one of the submission buttons Choose from this computer, Choose from Dropbox, or Choose from Google Drive and select the file for submission.

 For assignments that only allow file submissions that are able to generate Originality reports we support the following formats:
  • Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML, RTF, OpenOffice (ODT), Hangul (HWP), Google Docs (submitted via the Google Drive submission option), plain text files.
When you are done, click the "Upload" button to upload the paper.
