Using the Canvas Plagiarism Framework
Turnitin has worked with Canvas to develop the new Canvas Plagiarism Framework (CPF) integration that allows instructors to enable Turnitin within the Canvas Assignment workflow. This integration allows Turnitin to be enabled for a Canvas assignment, provides a Similarity Report and Spelling and Grammar suggestions and can be accessed via SpeedGrader.
The Canvas Plagiarism Framework is going to be available on Canvas from 19th March and Turnitin 1.1 will be deactivated ahead of the start of AY24/25. Read more about this change.
Creating and managing assignments
Creating an assignment Assigning a score out of 100 points aligns the assignment with the QUB Assessment Guidelines. If you want to ensure that students are submitting file in which Turnitin can generate a similarity report, choose to Restrict Upload File Types to readable text files such as pdf, doc, docx, pptx, etc. Accessing the Similarity Report The Similarity Report can be accessed from within SpeedGrader. Grading and Providing Feedback Grading and feedback should be completed in SpeedGrader. Turnitin-based feedback/grading tools are not supported with CPF. For more information on SpeedGrader, read this post on Marking Submissions in SpeedGrader and Releasing Grades/Feedback in Gradebook. Canvas Gradebook/SpeedGrader: Here, you mark, provide feedback and add grades as you would a Canvas assignment. The only difference in a Turnitin assignment is that an icon appears showing the % similarity score (in Canvas SpeedGrader) which links to the Similarity Report (1). When this is selected, Turnitin opens in a separate window. Similarity score ranges: Similarity Reports provide a summary of matching or highly similar text found in a submitted paper. When a Similarity Report is available for viewing, a similarity score percentage will be made available. The color of the report icon indicates the similarity score of the paper, based on the amount of matching or similar text that was uncovered. The percentage range is 0% to 100%. The possible similarity ranges are:
