On your Moodle course page, you should see an icon and a link to the Turnitin assignment you have created:


Turnitin Assignment link


If you wish to make additional changes to the Turnitin assignment settings, click the Turnitin assignment link. This will open the Turnitin Submission Inbox:



The submission inbox displaying any student submissions that have been received.


To change a date setting, click the Edit icon next to the item:

Using the pencil icons to amend the Start, Due and Post Dates.


Drop-down menus will appear, allowing you to make any required changes:

The Due Date of the assignment.



Students’ submissions are displayed in the submission inbox. Similarity Reports provide a summary of matching or highly similar text found in a submitted paper. When a Similarity Report is available for viewing, an icon will appear in the Similarity column of the assignment Inbox. Similarity Reports that have not yet finished generating are represented by a greyed out Pending icon in the Similarity column:


A similarity report that is pending in the submission inbox.

Reports that are Pending may not have generated yet, or the assignment may be set to delay the generation of the report.


Note about Resubmitted Assignments: Overwritten or resubmitted papers may not generate a new Similarity Report for a full 24 hours. This delay is automatic and allows resubmissions to correctly generate without matching the previous draft.
