Moodle Integrated Turnitin Feature

To set up an assignment in Moodle with Turnitin enabled:

1. Turn editing on

2. In the appropriate section, click “Add an Activity or Resource” then follow step 3; alternately, you may select Edit settings from within a current assignment or forum and jump to step 4.

3. Select “Assignment,” “Open Forum,” or “Forum” and add assignment or forum student directions.

Note: these are the only types of Assignment submissions that can use the Turnitin plug-in on Moodle

4. Turnitin is OFF as the default setting. To use Turnitin for a given assignment or discussion board, scroll down to and expand the “Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings” section. Change Enable Turnitin to “Yes”.

5. Fill out all additional fields, as desired.

6. The subsequent settings are recommended, but may be changed to your preferences.

7. Click Save.

When students submit their assignment, they do not need to log into the Turnitin website. They simply upload the assignment in Moodle as they typically would. They will see “Turnitin status: Queued” next to their submission. Once the Similarity Report is available, they will see it next to their File Submission (if made available to students).
