  3. Turnitin (Ultra)

This guide gives you information on setting up a Turnitin Assignment for the submission of non-text based assignments.  Examples include:

  • image files
  • audio files
  • excel files.

Note: Turnitin only allows the submission of one file. Turnitin currently does not allow the submission of group assignments; consider using the Blackboard Assignment tool for group assignments (refer to the Assignments guide).

Note: Similarity reports are not produced for non-text based assignments.

Note: Of the three examples above, only image files can be directly annotated with comments when marking; you can add comments to a blank page for other file types. Refer to the Mark Non-Text Assignments guide.
