How Do I.. Create a Turnitin Assignment Inbox?

Log in to the LMS and go the Subject in which you want to add a Turnitin Powerlink. Select the page or Learning Module to which the link is to be added.
On the Build tab, select Add Content Link, Turnitin Assignment.

If you have previously created a Turnitin assignment, you can select its title from the list and choose the Add Selected option to add the link to the Turnitin assignment to your page or Learning Module.
To create a new Assignment Inbox, select Create Turnitin Assignment. First, you should give your Assignment Inbox a Title. This is the name which will identify the link on your page or Learning Module in the LMS.
Click Turnitin Assignment to move to the next stage of the process which displays the Turnitin assignment Creation Form in the main frame of your LMS Subject.
Select create a new ‘paper assignment’ or ‘revision assignment’
- Paper assignment – allows only one submission
- Revision assignment – allows submission of multiple drafts without overwriting previous drafts.
Enter an Assignment Title and a Point Value.
Select start and due dates for submission of the paper. Specific times must also be selected. Students can submit one the start date and time has passed and until the due date and time unless late submissions are enabled.

The post date comes after the due date and determines when marked papers or grades will be available for student view.

Click on More Options. Enter any special instructions that your students will require to complete and submit their assignment.

Choose whether or not students can generate the Originality Reports for their submissions and when they can view them.
- immediately first report is final: The Originality Report for a submission will be generated immediately. Students cannot resumit papers.
- immediately (can overwrite reports until due date): Students can resubmit as often as they like until the due date. Only the latest submission is available to the lecturer or student. Because submissions will be compared against one another and this may result in changes in the ORep, second or subsequent submissions will have a 24 hour delay before the ORep begins processing. Typically used for students to self-review and revise their submissions.
- on due date: Originality Reports will not be generated until the due date and time. Students can resubmit many times until due date but no Originality Report will be generated.
Allow submissions after due date: submissions after the due date and time will be maked with red text in the date column in the assignment inbox. Submissions past the due date and time cannot be overwritten.
Submit papers to: this is the database to which the paper will be submitted and in which it will be retained. Choose standard paper repository
Search options: these are databases against which the students’ submissions will be compared.

Finally, choose submit to create your assignment inbox at Turnitin.
