Last Update 2 months ago
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
To add a new assignment, click the +Assignment button.
Enter the assignment’s name, details, total points possible, and choose your preferred display of grades.
Use the Submission Type dropdown to select Online. Select Text Entry and/or File Uploads as Online Entry Options.
A Plagiarism Review box will appear once you have selected an Online submission type with text entry of file upload options. In the Plagiarism Review dropdown, select Turnitin-CPF (1).
Once you have selected Turnitin, the box will expand to include a few more settings. Please review these carefully, as they pertain to whether or not submitted papers are included in the Turnitin repository (2), and how the similarity report is prepared (3).
Select your preferred timeline for showing similarity reports to students (4).
- Now, you may complete the rest of the Canvas assignment setup as normal. For more information on Canvas assignments, please see our Assessments and Grading Guide.
Once the set-up is complete, click Save or Save & Publish.
To view the Turnitin similarity reports for papers submitted with the Plagiarism Framework, use SpeedGrader to view the paper and find the similarity score at the upper right of the feedback pane.
