Setting Up A TurnItIn Assignment

Create an Assignment in Canvas using the standard assignment creation workflow.

When you choose a submission type, that type MUST be Online. In the online entry options, choose Text Entry, File Upload, or both, depending on your preferred formats.

After you choose the Online submission type, the Plagiarism Review section will populate in the assignment. In the first drop down menu (red box, see right) make sure Turnitin is selected. From there, the recommended settings are as follows:

– Store submissions in: Standard paper repository

– Compare submissions against: Check all boxes

– Similarity report: Leave all unchecked

– Show report to students: Never
