The Learn interface to TurnItIn is changing next year. When the new edition of Learn is released on July 22nd, all TurnItIn assignments will need to be re-created for the new session. This is no different from previous years, although the software will look slightly different (see: Changes to Turnitin ).
A six-slide PowerPoint presentation is available to show students how to submit coursework using the new TurnItIn assignment. It may be added to a module as a standalone resource or incorporated into a lecture presentation.
- If your module uses a TurnItIn assignment activity, a new instance of the activity will need to be created in the 2014-15 module, just as you should have created a new activity last year.
- The new TurnItIn assignments will be created with a new version of the software, and work through a new TurnItIn account.
- As usual, students involved in the SAP will use last year’s edition of Learn (which will be called Learn13) and the old 2013 TurnItIn assignments will still work.
