Turnitin and Canvas

In this workshop, we showed participants how to use Turnitin’s “Plagiarism Framework” integration with Canvas. This new integration allows the tools to work together more closely and efficiently. Turnitin is a plagiarism-prevention tool that helps you check the academic integrity of student writing. Specifically, we looked at:

    • enabling Turnitin assignments within the existing Canvas assignment workflow,
    • accessing Turnitin’s plagiarism checking via the Canvas SpeedGrader,
    • grading and providing feedback on Turnitin submissions within the Canvas SpeedGrader, and
    • viewing Turnitin’s potential plagiarism indicators directly in the Canvas Gradebook.

Session Date:
Thursday, June 27 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Facilitators:
Eduardo Rebagliati and Kalisa Young
