The Staff Development Committee of IT Department organized a talk on “Using Turnitin in Moodle” on 15/2/19 at IT 105. The Speakers were Mr. Sekar and Mr. Franklin from ETC/ ICT.
The speakers elaborated how Turnitin Assignment activity will allow students to submit work electronically which is then automatically checked for text matches with documents from other student papers, journals, books and the web. Instructors can also opt to return marks and leave comments using the integrated electronic marking system.
The speakers explained how Turnitin integration with Moodle will enable instructors to use parts of the Turnitin suite of tools. They stressed that students are to be made aware if we plan to use the Turnitin Originality Check service for their assignments.
