- +
-==== How do I setup Turnitin on an assignment in Avenue to Learn? ==== +
- +
- +
-Originality Checking enables you to monitor your Assignments ​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 Assignments tool. +
- +
- +
-==== Enable Originality Checking ==== +
- +
- +
-1. While creating or editing an Assignment folder, select the checkbox for Enable Originality Checking for this folder. +
- +
- +
-{{:​dropbox2.png?​nolink&​598x765}} +
- +
- +
-2.If desired, click the Restrictions tab and update the start date and end dates to your desired range. +
- +

- +
- +
-==== Plagiarism Detection Options ==== +
- +
- +
-When Originality Checking is enabled, Originality Checking Options area appears at the bottom of the New Folder ​page. Before creating the Assignment folder, you should identify which option you would like to use in that area. +
- +
- +
-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. +
- +
- +
-**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. +
-==== Manually submitting files for Originality checking ​==== +
- +
- +
-If your Assignment 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. +
- +
- +
-====  ==== +

- +
-==== Manually submit files for Originality checking ==== +
- +
- +
-1. Ensure that ‘Identify individual submissions for originality checking’ is enabled in the properties tab on the New/Edit Folder page. +
  
-2. From the Folder Submissions pageclick the Submit file for Originality Checking icon. A message displays indicating the file has been submitted ​for review.+The Assignments tool within your course on Avenue to Learn will allow you to accept digital files of most typesand provide an interface that you can assess those submitted ​assignments
  
 +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. ​
  
-3.Check the Folder Submissions page to view the status of your Originality Report.+To be able to receive assignments digitally, you will have to configure an Assignments folderTo do this in Avenue, follow these steps:
  
 +1. In your course, under Assessments,​ select Assignments.
  
-====  ====+2. Click the blue New Submission Folder.
  
 +3. Give the folder a name - this name will be seen by students.
  
-==== Viewing Originality Reports ====+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.
  
 +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.
  
-You can view Originality Reports from the Folder Submissions page. When a report ​is available, ​the status changes from “In Progress” to a percentage rating. This percentage rating indicates the level or amount of matching content.+7. At the bottom of the screen, you will see controls for managing what is submitted in the Assignment.
  
  
-{{:dropbox3.png?​nolink&​321x143}}+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.
  
-==== Viewing a file submission summary ====+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.
  
 +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.
  
-A lower percentage rating indicates that the content is original ​and has not been copied; a higher percentage rating indicates the content is not original. Be aware that a high number does not always mean that there is plagiarism; all it means is that there is a high percentage of language that word for word matches another source. This could include properly cited material.+10. Scroll down to the Save and Close button to save your work and return to your course homepage.
  
 +Here is a video to show you those steps (if you want anonymous marking, refer to the video after this one):
