Create a Turnitin assignment (Ultra)
This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Turnitin Assignment for the submission of text-based assignments (e.g., PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files).
Warning: Old Turnitin submission links should always be deleted and replaced to ensure results transfer correctly to Gradebook.
1. Overview
Similarity Report
A Similarity Report can be produced and highlights any text in a student’s assignment that matches sources in the Turnitin database, including web content, previously submitted assignments and subscription-based journals and publications.
Multiple file submissions
Turnitin only allows the submission of one file. If you require the submission of multiple files you will need to create a submission link for each file upload. If a Similarity report is not required consider using a Blackboard assignment which allows multiple file upload.
Group assignments
Turnitin does not include functionality for group assignment submission, if a Similarity Report is not required consider using a Blackboard Group Assignment.
In the case of a group assignment where the Similarity report is required, one member of the student group will need to submit on behalf of all group members. The marks will need to be manually entered in Gradebook for non-submitting group members. The student who submitted the assignment will need to be responsible for passing on the assignment feedback to the other group members.
