(Our Turnitin licence includes PeerMark however the PeerMark feature is not included in the Moodle Direct plugin and does not work with Turnitin in/Moodle integration. The use of PeerMark at ACU is under review by the board. Originality report: allows student and instructors to review matches between the submitted work and the repositories in Turnitin to determine and overall similarity percentage GradeMark: is a digital grading product offered by Turnitin which allows instructors to comments on a student submission for the student to review

Presentation Notes
The settings will have an impact on what’s checked against Report: Generation Speed (even with immediate there is still a delay time before an originality report is generated as it needs to check the Turnitin database) Generate report immediately, reports can be overwritten until due date: Initial Originality Reports will be generated immediately and students may resubmit until the assignment due date (subsequent submissions will require 24 hours, only the latest submission is available to the instructor and student. Previous submissions will be removed. Student submission will compare against each other within the assignment on the due date and this may result in a change in similarity index).

Interpreting Originality Reports • What percentages are safe?

– There are no clear cut rules as all work will probably contain some words from other sources. However a high percentage would be anything over 25% (Yellow/Orange /Red)

• Quotation and referencing • Paraphrasing • Common words and phrases • Students reusing work

Page 15: Ltc turnitin

Specific strategies to enhance academic integrity in a unit

• Design curriculum to prevent plagiarism. • Model good practice (in unit resources). • Clarify what’s required of students in assessment

work. • Clarify expectations and acceptable academic

writing. • Using text matching tool “Turnitin Assignment” in

LEO for marking written work.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Presenter: Ask participants if they can think of any other strategies to promote academic integrity
