For future events and trainings, please refer to https://teach.its.uiowa.edu/events/upcoming. Description of terms: Feedback Studio: New interface for Turnitin’s plagiarism detection, also known as Originality Check. GradeMark: Now called QuickMarks, the annotation tool in Feedback Studio. Peermark: Peer Review feature of Turnitin. Before we begin, please note: The assignment title limit is 99 characters. Turnitin submissions require a minimum of 25 words, and maximum of 400 pages, and a file size maximum of 40 MB. Students cannot submit multiple file uploads. You may be able to resubmit a document (depends on assignment settings) but cannot upload more than one file at a time. If the assignment is set to allow only file types that Turnitin can check for originality, Turnitin will only accept files that can generate Originality Reports. This includes: o o o o o o o Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) OpenOffice Text (.odt) WordPerfect (.wpd) PostScript (.ps/.eps) HTML Hangul Word Processor file (.hwp) Rich text format (.rtf) 1
Office of Teaching, Learning & Technology http://teach.its.uiowa.edu o o o o o its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu 319-384-4357 / On campus x4-4357 Plain text (.txt) Google Docs via Google Drive Adobe PDF Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt, .ppsx, and .pps) Microsoft Excel (.xls and .xlsx) Turnitin will not accept PDF image files, forms, or portfolios, files that do not contain highlightable text (e.g. a scanned file - usually an image), documents containing multiple files or files created with software other than Adobe Acrobat. If submitting with Google Drive, third party cookies must be allowed in your browser, otherwise, any attempts to sign into Google to upload from Google Drive will fail. Note that Google Drive functionality is not supported with IE8 or below. Do not upload Google Doc (.gdoc) files directly to Turnitin; a .gdoc file does not store the document, but contains a reference to it online, in Google Docs. Turnitin will not accept the following to generate Originality Reports: o o o o o Password protected files Microsoft Works (.wps) files Microsoft Word 2007 macros-enabled .docm files OpenOffice Text (.odt) files created and downloaded from Google Docs online Document (.doc) files created using OpenOffice, as they are not 100% Microsoft Word equivalent o Apple Pages o Spreadsheets created outside of Microsoft Excel (i.e. .ods) o Text with visual effects Turnitin converts a PowerPoint slide deck into a static PDF, leaving all text and images in their original format but leaving out features such as presenter notes, embedded video, and animations. Text with visual effects is not supported, and it is recommended that any visual effects such as shadows and 3D be removed prior to submitting to Turnitin. When converting a file to a new file format, students should rename their file with a name other than that of the original file. This will prevent permanent loss of the original formatting or image content of a file due to it being overwritten. If a student uploads a second version of a paper, the first one is overwritten in Turnitin along with its Originality Report, so the second version does not generate a match to the original. This also applies in a case where an instructor manually deletes a student paper so the student can upload another one. 2
