This guide gives you information on setting up a TurnItIn Assignment for giving students feedback on assignments that do not require a file submission. i.e. Oral presentations, performances and assignments where students submit a physical product.

Setting up your assignment

Note: To ensure students do no accidentally submit files to the TurnItIn assignment it is recommended that the assignment is set up in a Content Area that the students do not have access to. Refer to the Add a Content Area guide.
