Using a Turnitin Enabled Dropbox
A Turnitin enabled dropbox allows students and faculty to submit papers and run originality reports to see if these papers contain plagiarism or similarities to other work. To create a new Turnitin dropbox:
- Navigate to the course where the new Turnitin enabled drop box is needed, click on Dropbox in the navigation bar, and then New Folder.
- Give the dropbox a name and then Save the dropbox.
- Under the Evaluation & Feedback pane click Manage Turnitin. Click the checkbox for Enable Similarity Report for this folder.
- If desired, check Allow learners to see turnitin similarity scores in their dropbox folder. NOTE: Most student originality reports are displayed in their respective Turnitin dropbox in 5 to 10 minutes. However, if the same paper is resubmitted, there is a mandatory 24 hour wait before the new originality report is displayed.
- If you want to use the Online Grading feature, click the checkbox for Enable Online Grading for this folder.
- Click the More Options button to show advanced originality checking options. Help for all features can be found under the question mark icon "?" for each feature.
- Click Save to save all Turnitin originality report options.
- Click Save and Close. You have successfully chosen the most important settings for the dropbox.
After receiving student submissions, return to the Brightspace dropbox and click on the title of a student paper to view the originality report and begin to review papers.
