Turnitin assignment 2 activity is not supported from Moodle anymore as it causes technical issues like:

  1. Moodle performance becomes slower
  2. Similarity report takes a very long time to appear from Turnitin
  3. Students are not able to view the highlighted sentences from Turnitin which causes high percentages on similarity reports
  4. Students are not able to view and download the feedback from Turnitin studio

Required actions from all lecturers:

  1. Do not use Turnitin assignment 2 activity(redirect students to “Assignment” activity for submissions)
  2. Use assignment activity (which is integrated with Turnitin) instead  of Turnitin assignment 2
  3. Need to download and pass the submission for the student who needs to view the feedback that written in Turnitin studio
  4. Students can follow the instructions from the below link to check the similarity report then they can upload the final file for the official submission in Turnitin assignment 2:

How to check Turnitin similarity report for submission before submitting the official module submission

Notes: 

  • Assignment activity integrated with Turnitin doesn’t have an issue with Turnitin from the student’s view.
  • Turnitin assignment 2 activity: will not be removed from Moodle to keep the old submissions
