If you have writing assignments in your course, you already know that plagiarism can be a challenge. In this workshop, we present the tool, Turnitin, which helps identify instances of potential plagiarism. During the workshop, you will learn about the various ways in which Turnitin can be used in your Canvas course so that you can screen writing assignments for possible plagiarism and grammatical errors.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the similarity report generated by Turnitin.
- Create an assignment that utilizes the Turnitin tool in a sample Canvas course.
- Distinguish between using the external tool and using the plagiarism framework in Canvas when setting up a Turnitin assignment.
- Discuss the limitations of Turnitin.
