TurnItIn Assignments

Overview

The TurnItIn Assignments integration allows an instructor to make use of the TurnItIn.com platform directly from within the D2L Brightspace Assignments tool.  This allows the setup and use of Plagiarism detection, e-Rater, and GradeMark without leaving Brightspace.  Students submit their assignment within D2L Brightspace and the paper is automatically submitted to TurnItIn.com.

Instructions for Use

Enabling GradeMark

1. Navigate to the Assignments tool within your D2L Brightspace course.
2. Click on the existing assignment folder to edit it or click New Assignment to create a new assignment folder.
3. Click on the Evaluation & Feedback section to expand it, then click Manage Turnitin.
   
4. Select the Enable Online Grading for this folder checkbox.
5. Wait while TurnItIn is contacted.
6. Once the TurnItIn dropbox is ready, the More Options in TurnItIn button will be available.
7. Click More Options in Turnitin for additional configuration items. (This will launch a popup box).
   
8. After choosing any additional TurnItIn options, click Submit.
9. Click Save.

Grade Synchronization

Grades will be sent back from the vendor platform to Brightspace when the instructor has completed the assessment within GradeMark.

Enabling PeerMark

The PeerMark tool cannot be used from within the Brightspace Assignments tool integration.  To use PeerMark without navigating directly to TurnItIn, the assignment must be configured as a ‘direct’ integration.  Refer to TurnItIn PeerMark.

Support Resources

Problems with the platform or its integration should be directed to the TurnItIn support.

Common Issue

If a D2L Brightspace course has previously been paired with a TurnItIn course, and the TurnItIn course has been deleted, the assignments integration will throw the following error: “Turnitin assignment could not be created. class - class does not exist.”
