• Paper assignment is the base assignment for all other assignments types. Used to obtain an Originality Report
• PeerMark assignment: allows students to review their peers' papers based on scale and free response questions selected by the instructor.
• Revision Assignment allows students to submit multiple drafts without overwriting the previous drafts/submissions
• Reflection Assignment is designed as a learning journal where students write about what they learned from the writing process as well as offer feedback on the assignment they worked on.
Types of “Assignments”
4
It determines the congruence of text to sources in:
• Publicly accessible Internet sources• Every document already submitted to
Turnitin*• Assignments from within the class
Originality Check
* Lecturers can opt out from Turnitin storing papers. Only the lecturer can access the submitted paper.
5
• Allows for citation verification and quickly provides documentation of alleged plagiarism
• Detects rewording
• Both lecturer and students can upload
• It allows for peer to peer plagiarism detection
• It dos not search subscription databases (e.g. Library databases, newspapers, etc) unless those materials also appear in assignments previously sent to Turnitin.
• It does not differentiate between quoted materials and original writing!
PROS
Originality Check
CONS
6
Possible Scenario
A lecturer (or student who has access to it) receives an originality report showing a match for the following passage:
Today, according to authors of The Death of “e” and the Birth of the Real New Economy doing business electronically is the only way to stay alive and competitive. It is a necessity to get involved in the digital economy. Therefore, “e” is disappearing from our vocabulary because conducting business electronically is a normal, every-day activity.
Upon clicking on the comparison link, you find that the text is found in an on-line article, entitled The Death of “e” and the Birth of the Real New Economy.
Is this plagiarism or a false positive? Why?
7
• Use it proactively• Notify and explain to your students• Clear plagiarism policy: definition, avoidance,
guidelines and disciplinary process. • Help students develop writing skills.

From September 2011, Sulis and Turnitin are integrated, meaning
• No need to create lecturer or students accounts
• When students submit into the Assignment tool in Sulis, a Turnitin report can be generated
• Instructors may also choose to allow students to view the reports

Grademark
You can add comments within the body of the paper, point out grammar and punctuation mistakes, evaluate the paper against your own rubrics or predefined ones, etc.
Complete instructions available Chapter 4 of Instructor Handouthttp://www.ul.ie/ctl/turnitin-plagiarism-prevention-software
And training videos in http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/instructor-training
28
PeermarkAllows students to read, review, and evaluate one or many papers submitted by their classmates. Instructors can choose whether the reviews are anonymous or attributed, decide if students should be excluded from reviews, pair students, and assign students specific papers to review.
See training videos in http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/instructor-training
29
Peermark (2)Create new assignment as in slide 13, and select PeerMark Assignment (can only be created if a class has at least one paper assignment created)
Note: the due date of the base assignment must come before the start date and time of the PeerMark assignment. If anonymity in the review is desired, student submissions should not contain the name of the author in the text or at the top of the paper
The start date is the date students can begin reading papers and writing reviews.
The due date prevents students from writing reviews after this date. The post date is the date students will have access to reviews
written by their classmates
By default, reviews are anonymous and only those student who submit can review, but you can change it in “Show more options”
30
In Step 2, the instructor determines how many papers will be distributed to the students in the course. By default, PeerMark will automatically distribute papers to students
Peermark (3)
Click Save & Continue or click on the Show more distribution options link to exclude student papers from distribution or specify which student papers a student(s) will have to review.
Note: you need to have students registered as seen in slide 19
In Step 3, add questions for students to answer (your own or from Sample Library)
31
After the start date of the PeerMark assignment students may begin writing peer reviews. To view which papers students have reviewed click on the View link next to the PeerMark assignment.
Peermark (4)
The instructor can write a review to supplement those that students will receive from their peers. An instructor may also comment on the paper they are reviewing. A comment is equivalent to the notes that an instructor may write in the margins of a paper
Instructors can then view an individual student’s reviews by clicking on the Show details link to the right of the students name.
Instructors may grade the reviews written by the students
32
Peermark (5)Instructors may view a paper’s peer reviews within the document viewer once a reviewer submits a PeerMark review. To view a paper in the document viewer click on the paper’s title within the assignment inbox for the paper assignment the peer review is based on.
33
To view the PeerMark questions and answers click on ? icon.
Peermark (6)
To view a list of all the comments left on the paper click on the mark list icon.
To grade a reviewer click on the reviewer’s name, or to edit the grade click on the grade next to the reviewer’s name.
