Technical problems with using Turnitin may be directed to Turnitin via the Turnitin Help Center ticket system. Additional Information for InstructorsYou are strongly encouraged to include a statement about the use of Turnitin in your course syllabus or course policies. Examples of statements are available below. Note: Do not copy over any Turnitin assignments from one Moodle course site to another. Doing so will cause problems with the assignments in both sites. During the import process be sure to uncheck the box for any Turnitin assignments. You can then recreate the Turnitin assignment in the new course. Answers to most questions related to Turnitin can be found in the Turnitin Instructor Guide. If you need further assistance with Turnitin at SOU, contact any of the following: |
