Description
Turnitin is an online service for checking whether submitted written work is similar to work seen elsewhere online, or submitted previously to Turnitin as part of other college assignments at Swarthmore or elsewhere.
Access
Any Swarthmore faculty member would normally access Turnitin checking of their students work through Moodle assignments (see instructions here). Faculty who need it, can also access Turnitin Quick Submit tools outside of Moodle, for one-off paper checking.
In order to use Turnitin Quick Submit tools, Swarthmore faculty need to activate their access to the Turnitin tools outside of our Moodle system by sending a request for ITS to activate their account by emailing support@swarthmore.edu or directly entering a request through the ITS ITS Support Portal to update their account for such access.
General Instructions for using Turnitin Feedback Studio can be found in Turnitin's Help System: https://help.turnitin.com/feedback-studio/turnitin-website/instructor/instructor-category.htm.
When faculty need to check student work outside the context of an assignment in Moodle, the specific tool to use is Quick Submit. Instructions for activating this tool are detailed here: https://help.turnitin.com/feedback-studio/turnitin-website/instructor/making-a-submission/activating-quick-submit.htm. And how to submit student work with Quick Submit is detailed in this separate page: https://help.turnitin.com/feedback-studio/turnitin-website/instructor/making-a-submission/submitting-via-quick-submit.htm.
