Moodle: Activities & Resources: Create a Turnitin Assignment (Faculty)


This article has not been updated recently and may contain dated material.
 

**PLEASE NOTE: At the end of the 2024 Spring Term (mid-May) the Turnitin Assignment 2 Moodle Activity will no longer be avaliable to add into courses. Turnitin Assignments will continue to work if imported, but we strongly advise recreating the assignments using the new integrated Turnitin plagiarism plugin found in the settings of Moodle's native Assignment, Workshop, Forum, and Quiz activities. See GROK 20591: Moodle Activity Settings: Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin Settings for more information.

 

The Turnitin Assignment 2 is one option for requiring students to submit work through the Turnitin Feedback Studio. For other Turnitin options in Moodle, see Turnitin Products Overview.

4. Click Save and return to course to return to your course page. To continue setting up your assignment, click Save and display or reenter the assignment from your course page.

5. You can change any of the dates you previously set in this view. The Grades Available column shows the maximum grade for the assignment. When creating a Turnitin assignment, a grade item will automatically be created in the Gradebook. Be sure to go into the gradebook to ensure it is weighted properly and in the correct category if applicable.
