Creating and Grading Turnitin Assignments in TITANium

Description

Turnitin 2 assists instructors in identifying plagiarism through originality checking.

Turnitin assignments are securely and seamlessly submitted through TITANium to Turnitin.com. Turnitin compares the student's paper with the publicly-accessible internet, electronic databases, and millions of previously submitted student papers. Whenever a match is found, Turnitin highlights the suspect paragraph(s) in the student paper and displays the matching source(s) and text. This helps the instructor in evaluating papers for plagiarism.

During this hands-on workshop you will learn how to create a Turnitin assignment on TITANium and how to review the results (aka Originality Report).

• Create a Turnitin assignment through TITANium
• Understand the various assignment options available to instructors
