New Canvas Integration with Turnitin Plagiarism Detection

Submitted by stauffeg on

There's a new way to use Turnitin plagiarism detection with your Canvas assignments that's quicker and simpler than before! The Turnitin “Quick Integration” generates Similarity Reports for your students’ work without the extra features and complicated setup. Unlike the old Turnitin integration, the Quick Integration lets you use all of Canvas's assignment features--like rubrics, groups, peer reviews, and Speedgrader's markup capabilities--just like you normally would. Visit the Turnitin Quick Integration Setup tutorial to get started.

You can't use Turnitin GradeMark with the new Quick Integration, but if you prefer doing your grading with Turnitin's markup tools instead of using Canvas Speedgrader, no need to worry: the old Turnitin "GradeMark Integration" will continue to be an option for your Canvas assignments. It works just the same as before: visit the GradeMark Integration Setup tutorial to learn more.
