#Turnitin® license
This license is only for checking coursework at the University of Iowa, and may not be used for other reasons. Students submit their papers via ICON (Canvas) and the instructor receives an originality report showing possible matches between the submitted paper and TurnItIn's database and internet resources. Note that this functionality is not available in Canvas, but other alternatives for summative submission are being investigated by the Education IT Programme.Plagiarism Detection is the process of checking papers against external sources and identifying sections of papers that may have been plagiarized. The University of Iowa has licensed Turnitin, an online, automatic plagiarism detection service for campus-wide use. Contact the Head of Examinations if you wish to set up a special Weblearn site that will display Oxford candidate numbers (to authorised parties) instead of student names, for purposes of anonymity. Online submission by students via the WebLearn assignments tool is permitted - instead of paper-based submissions. Since 2016, departments or colleges who plan to use Turnitin to detect possible plagiarism in examined (summative) work, no longer need to seek advance permission from the Proctors. The Declaration may be modified by departments and faculties according to their own regulations (see our student study skills guidance). Education Committee provides a Declaration of Authorship, which can be used to accompany the submission of summative pieces of work. If using WebLearn or Canvas, an assignment needs to be created in a suitable WebLearn site (or Canvas course) for students to upload their papers themselves and view their Originality Reports (if this option is enabled by the person setting up the assignment).įrom the University's Legal office: ‘Given the disciplinary implications if plagiarism is found, from the point of view of transparency and fairness, all reasonable steps should be taken to alert a student to the fact that his/her work may be subjected to specialist plagiarism detection software.' This is in addition to the overall statement included in the student contract which students are required to sign when they are admitted to the university’ (email from Legal Services Office, ). If using TurnitinUK, student papers are uploaded by staff members using the Quick Submit option and the staff member then accesses the resulting Originality Report. Oxford University policy currently does not allow student to use the system independently - a tutor, supervisor or administrator needs to use either TurnitinUK (see Section 5) or WebLearn or Canvas (see Section 6).
