Use Turnitin in CN

Admin: Set up Turnitin Configuration

STEP1: Log in to CN Channel and go to the External Tools tab from the left menu. Click on the pencil icon under the Controls column for Turnitin. In the window that pops up, enter the Consumer Key, Shared Secret, and Launch URL, then click SUBMIT. Turnitin can now be accessed from all Institution Courses.

Note: Your institution needs to have a license from Turnitin. Your institution should then provide you with the Consumer Key, Shared Secret, and Launch URL.

Instructor: Enable Turnitin in Assignments

STEP1: Once Turnitin is configured by admins, you can enable Turnitin in assignments. In your institution course, create a GradeBook item. Select “Submit a File/Assignment” as the Submission Type and then a checkbox will appear that says “Enable Turnitin”. Check this box to use Turnitin for this assignment. Finish filling out the rest of the form.

Note: You will not be able to set up a rubric for assignments that have enabled Turnitin. You will have to create the rubric through Turnitin.

STEP2: After creating the assignment, a popup will appear asking you go to DropBox. This must be done in order to activate Turnitin on the assignment.

Note: If you are in the middle of creating a task, DropBox will open in a new window so that you don't lose any progress on your current task.

STEP3: After clicking on the GO TO DROPBOX button, DropBox will open in a new tab with the assignment selected from the Item Name dropdown. This automatically activates Turnitin on your assignment. Students can now start making their submissions on the assignment.

Note: You can click on the Settings tab to view and edit more controls (such as Feedback Release Date, Allow late submissions etc) and create a rubric.

STEP1: Find the corresponding assignment in the Task Tool or DropBox. After selecting the assignment, the Turnitin frame should appear. Click on the Upload Submission button at the bottom of the window to start your submission.

STEP2: Enter the Submission Title for this assignment and select your file to upload. Once done, click on the Continue button.

STEP3: After reviewing your submission, click on the Accept Submission & Save button. You have now completed your submission on your Turnitin assignment!
