Avenue Specifics
How do I setup Turnitin on a dropbox in Avenue to Learn? Originality Checking enables you to monitor your Dropbox folders and identify potential cases of plagiarism by automatically comparing submissions to an online database of original content through the services of Turnitin. 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.
Enable Originality Checking
1. While creating or editing a Dropbox folder, select the checkbox for Enable Originality Checking for this folder.
2.If desired, click the Restrictions tab and update the start date and end dates to your desired range.
