TurnItIn Integration with the Dropbox Frequently Asked Question

Question: Can I enable the integration midway into a term(s)?

Answer: Yes. If there have been dropbox submissions within a dropbox that is later enabled for use of the integration they will be asynchronously passed over to Turnitin upon activation of the dropbox.

Question: Are the Grademark and Peermark features part of the existing integration?

Answer: Currently no, but we are looking at ways to allow the Grademark system to be able to pass grades back to the corresponding course gradebook.

Question: Can multiple instructors access the integration?

Answer: Yes multiple faculty members can be enrolled in a given course and utilize the existing integration.

Question: Are there any date restrictions for assignments in the Turnitin system?

Answer: Yes. Currently assignments cannot have dates that exceed five years in the future. By default if a course end date is set more than five years in the future it must be updated to fall less than five years from today to successfully connect to the Turnitin system.

 

Question: Can I turn the TurnItIn integration on in a dropbox from a previous term?

Answer: No. This tool only works for current terms with future end dates.

 

Question: Can I still use Turnitin.com without the dropbox integration?

Answer: Yes. TurnItIn can still be used as a Standalone product. eLearning staff will continue to support users who choose to use this as a separate product. If you choose to use this as a standalone, please see our Faculty TurnItIn Resources.
