Turnitin update

For those who could not attend Thursday’s Turnitin training session, you can view the recording. If you want, you can also go to the instructor help page.

 

When you create an assignment in Canvas and want to utilize Turnitin, you will still see the option to Enable VeriCite Submissions. Please ignore this. The reason it’s still there is for the possibility of students challenging grades from a recent term, and removing VeriCite will change the originality report results. The VeriCite option will remain visible for the duration of the fall semester, then a decision will be made to keep it for another semester or remove it.

 

One last thing: I am working with Chabot and District ITS to work out a process for stocking the Turnitin database with past LPC and Chabot papers. There are financial and workload implications associated with this.
