Turnitin
Turnitin checks text submitted in assignments against text in its database and other online resources,
and allows students and staff to check whether material has been referenced properly. It can be used
by staff who suspect plagiarism and collusion.
The workshop covers how Turnitin integrates with the learning management system and how you and your
students can use the software most effectively.
