How do I create a new Turnitin assignment?
On May 11, 2022 we updated the method used for connecting Blackboard to Turnitin. This update brings some user interface changes but the service retains the same features. The new connection method will allow for more seamless system updates in the future and offers an improved student submission process.
In addition to the information below, instructors with additional questions can view instructor support pages from the vendor or contact CIT for assistance.
Instructions
The button for creating a Turnitin assignment has moved. Its new location is under “Build Content”.
In a content area, like the Course Home Page, select Build Content.
Choose Turnitin Assignment.
Note: The list of tools is not alphabetical and we wish we could fix it.
Name the assignment, and choose other applicable settings.
In the new tab/window, the settings remain the same but may look different.
Click Submit.
You will receive a Success! message. Close the tab/window and refresh your course view to see the new Turnitin assignment.
New Assignment Settings View
Assignment settings will now show in a new tab/window.
Max Grade: Turnitin assignments will not grade correctly with a Max Grade of zero (0).
After Creating a Turnitin Assignment
After an instructor creates a Turnitin assignment they will receive the following message: “Success! The tool provider content was added to your course. Close this window and refresh your course to view the new content.”
