Turnitin and Canvas
Thursday, June 27 | 12pm – 1pm

Join us in this workshop to learn how to use Turnitin’s “Plagiarism Framework” integration with Canvas. This new integration allows the tools to work together more closely and efficiently.

• enable Turnitin assignments within the existing Canvas assignment workflow,
• access Turnitin’s plagiarism checking via the Canvas SpeedGrader,
• grade and provide feedback on Turnitin submissions within the Canvas SpeedGrader, and
• view Turnitin’s potential plagiarism indicators directly in the Canvas Gradebook.
