Introduction
Turn It In is:
 An Internet-based text matching software that scans submitted work and compares it
to public websites, journals and assignments
 Tool to highlight sections of a submission that are similar to other works, in a report
 A way to show students where plagiarism concerns exist and will make
recommendations to correct it
 A proactive tool to address student academic integrity and not simply for imposing
penalties
 Integrated with your D2L dropbox and will allow students to assess their citations
within draft documents prior to final submission.
Benefits of Turn It In

Similarity Reports can help students in locating additional sources
Deters students who may be considering cheating/plagiarising
Increases awareness of academic integrity
Allows instructor to respond to the needs of the students early, if

Student can revise and improve work products and deepen
understandings of using feedback to revise work

Best Practices (cont.)
Use anonymized Similarity Reports to prompt in-class discussion, or for tutorials
Encourage students to examine text in their work identified as coming from another
source, and review how that section of text has been referenced
Develop an awareness that Turn It In will match against online sources, and they need to
ensure printed sources are referenced similarly
Use Similarity Reports to identify at-risk students and provide remedial action by inviting
individual students to discuss their work and provide guidance
Ensure your students have sufficient time to receive and act upon their Turn It In feedback,
as Reports may take up to 24 hours to generate
Usage Considerations
Must factor in opportunities for students to submit drafts,
receive the feedback, and act on that feedback
Students can opt-out. Provide backup options for assessment:
submitting multiple drafts to instructor
submitting associated annotated bibliography
providing copes of source documents
Usage Considerations (cont.)

Policy

Students must be informed of Turn It In, integrity policies,
and citation expectations, at course start
Outline must include verbiage provided by Turn It In
Deciding on whether plagiarism has occurred is up to
