You can then view Originality Reports which highlight key areas, show a breakdown of matching sources and provide direct links to the matching content. You can also take advantage of the integrated Online Markup tool within Turnitin which enables you to add comments, inline text, and highlight sections in file submissions, directly from the Dropbox tool. | + | Add feedback and evaluations to Assignments submissions: |

| - | ==== ==== | + | ===== Configuring an Assignments Folder ===== |
| + | The Assignments tool within your course on Avenue to Learn will allow you to accept digital files of most types, and provide an interface that you can assess those submitted assignments. | ||
| - | ==== Plagiarism Detection Options ==== | + | The Assignments tool within your course on Avenue to Learn will allow you to accept digital files of most types, and provide an interface that you can assess those submitted assignments. |
| + | To be able to receive assignments digitally, you will have to configure an Assignments folder. To do this in Avenue, follow these steps: | ||
| - | When Originality Checking is enabled, Originality Checking Options area appears at the bottom of the New Folder page. Before creating the Dropbox folder, you should identify which option you would like to use in that area. | + | 1. In your course, under Assessments, select Assignments. |
| + | 2. Click the blue New Submission Folder. | ||
| - | Click **Show Advanced Originality checking Options** to open the advanced options area. Here you can control whether the student sees the Originality Report, select whose submissions are checked for plagiarism, select which sources to check submissions against, and decide whether the current submission you are running the report against are added to Turnitin’s database for subsequent new submissions to be checked against. | + | 3. Give the folder a name - this name will be seen by students. |
| + | 4. Select whether this Assignment is to be used to collect individual or group assignments. To use the group assignment functionality, you should have groups enabled and configured using the Groups tool in Avenue. If you do use the Assignment to collect a group assignment, feedback and grades provided to the student will be distributed to all the listed group members in the group tool. Also, all group members will be able to access the submitted file or files. | ||
| - | **NOTE:** We suggest that if you plan on using the service, you should disclose to your students that you are using Turnitin in your course syllabus. Students have the right to refuse – in those cases have a plan for an alternate submission process either through e-mail (your @mcmaster.ca account), Grammarly.com or an alternate Dropbox with Turnitin disabled. Students can identify when Originality Checking is turned on, however they will not be able to see which settings are enabled. | + | 5. Give the folder an 'out of' mark, ie. 100. If you have previously configured the Grades for the course, you can connect this specific Assignment to a Grade Item. The connection is a one-way connection, where grades entered in the Assignment will also appear in Grades, however grades entered in Grades do not appear in the Assignment. |
| - | ==== Manually submitting files for Originality checking ==== | + | |
| + | 7. At the bottom of the screen, you will see controls for managing what is submitted in the Assignment. | ||
| - | If your Dropbox folder has Identify individual submissions for originality checking enabled, then you need to manually submit file submissions for Originality Checking. This is useful for when you do not want to check every file submission for plagiarism, but still want the ability to do so on a case by case basis. | ||
| + | You may have to click a link labelled "Show Submission Options" to configure these settings. | ||
| - | ==== ==== | + | The options are for how many files can a person submit to this Assignment, either one, or many (or you can select 'Text submission, no file required', and users can utilize an html text editor to submit). Most people leave it at unlimited or Only the most recent submission is kept, as if an error is made in uploading an incorrect file, it means less work for a TA or instructor to allow the student to resubmit. |
| + | 8. Before you Save, you'll want to set the dates and times that this Assignment will accept submissions, as well as deselect the 'Hidden from users' checkbox, so that your learners can actually see the folder. To do this, scroll to the top and click the Restrictions tab. | ||
| - | ==== Manually submit files for Originality checking ==== | + | 9. Notice that when you switch tabs, the system saves your work. Assignments have Start, Due and End Dates. Start and End dates are the dates that the Assignment will start and stop accepting submissions. Due Date is a non-binding date that flags submission that are submitted to the Assignment after the Due Date. There is no functionality currently that will deduct marks for late submissions, however, with setting a Due Date, students will get a notification (if they've turned on that feature) two days prior to the due date as a reminder. |
| + | 10. Scroll down to the Save and Close button to save your work and return to your course homepage. | ||
| - | 1. Ensure that ‘Identify individual submissions for originality checking’ is enabled in the properties tab on the New/Edit Folder page. | + | Here is a video to show you those steps (if you want anonymous marking, refer to the video after this one): |
