Turnitin update
May 4, 2011Turnitin Standard
Bryan reports that yesterday (Tuesday 3rd May) saw very heavy usage of TurnItIn which led to volume-related problems, including students being unable to upload assignments to a TurnItIn Assignment activity. The problem was acknowledged by TurnItIn UK, who say it has been resolved. However it may be prudent for academic colleagues not to set submission deadlines at periods when peak demand can be expected e.g. the last day before Xmas, or the start of the Summer term. We have asked TIIUK to identify when peaks occur and let us know which days to avoid.
