How to use Turnitin through Moodle by submitting to a Turnitin Assignment

Turnitin is an online service to which the University subscribes. It enables the text matching of submitted texts against an extensive library of visible internet pages, journals, periodicals etc. and student essays previously submitted. It is a tool for use in preventing plagiarism. Staff and students can access an Originality Report which indicates the percentage of text matched, i.e. the percentage that is thought to have been copied as well as the suspected sources.

Check your Module or Course Handbook for information on how to submit assignments through Moodle. This may be through a link on the Moodle page for your module or it may be in a separate Moodle site set up by your School. The TEST YOUR TEXT space in Moodle (instructions for accessing this are below) allows students to test their assignments by uploading them to receive an originality report for their own use before they submit the assignment for real.
