A. CREATE ACTIVITY TURNITIN

Access your course by clicking on “My courses” label in the “Navigation” block then select your course
Activate the editing mode by clicking on the "Turn Editing On"
Click on “Add an Activity or Resource”
Choose "Turnitin Assignment"

B. SETTING UP THE TURNITIN ACTIVITY

Note: It is important to understand that the Turnitin Activity setup can take 2 forms, either as a “Testing” or as a “Final Repository” of completed work. However, if the teacher chooses the second option, any submission will be saved in the Turnitin database and a modified version uploaded to Turnitin will show a result of 100% similarity with the previous versions stored on the database. It is recommended to opt for the first option "Testing" if it is not the final submission.

To set up the Turnitin Activity, follow the below steps;

1. Click on “Select content”
2. Enter a title
3. Enter a description
4. Select start and due dates
5. Click on “Optional Settings”

In “Submission Settings” there are 2 choices:

- Choose “Do not store the submitted papers”, if you only want to test student assignments (i.e. create a similarity report without saving them as final versions in the Turnitin database).
- Choose “Standard paper repository”, if these are the final submissions of the assignments and you wish to save them in the Turnitin database.

Click on “Submit” at the bottom of the page to close this window and then click “Save and Display”.

C. VIEW DELIVERED STUDENT’S WORK

To view and download the similarity report of your students’ work, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the Turnitin Activity.
2. Once the table is displayed, click on the rectangle to view the similarity report for each student’s work.

The similarity report will display the following information: In the right column, the list of sources detected by the system, and the percentage of similarity identified.

To download the report for correction, click on the “Download” icon and then select “Digital Receipt” to save it.
If you wish to keep a copy of the report returned by Turnitin, you can download it by clicking on the "Download" icon at the bottom left of the page and choosing the "Current View" option.

Note: depending on the size of students’ work, Turnitin may take some times to display the similarity report: A “Pending” message will appear in the similarity column

D. VIEW AI WRITTEN DETECTION REPORT (Only for english written text)

To view the AI writing detection report of a student, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Turnitin Activity.
2. Once the table is displayed, click on the rectangle to view the similarity report for each student’s work.

Click on the “AI” Icon.

The AI write detection report will display, indicating the percentage of text generated by an AI.

Note: Turnitin AI writing detector is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. The AI writing detector may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

E. VIEWING DATA ANALYTICS

To view Turnitin data analytics, follow the steps below:

Click on the Turnitin Activity.
Once the table is displayed, click the “Analytics” tab

Submissions Timeline: This option provides a visual representation of submissions, helping you understand when students are engaging. It's particularly useful to allow students to work on their assignments to ensure their engagement over time.
Similarity Score: This option provides an overview of all students' similarity score, offering additional context when grouped with other students in the same class. The higher the bar, the more bids within that range.

Average Source Variety: This information can be used to ensure that students use a wide variety of sources in their articles. For example, if one article has a similarity score of 54% for Internet sources and another returns 76%, the average source variety for the assignment would be 65%.
Submissions:

Number of Submissions: The total number of submissions made to the class. Any blank area represents students who have not yet submitted their assignments. If the numbers seem low, this is the perfect opportunity to remind students during school hours of the assignment’s due date.
How Many Students Have Resubmitted? This shows students who submitted at least once, and how many submitted multiple times.

You can also export the complete data by clicking on the "Export All Data" button
