| This integration is different from the Turnitin Assignment type developed by IParadigms and supported from Turnitin.com. This integration is being developed by Dan Marsden from Catalyst IT Ltd.

| The Turnitin assignment type provided from Turnitin.com is currently quite problematic - it has a range of issues that affect different Moodle
| |
| versions. They have improved the code in some of the later versions that Turnitin have released, but it still has some major shortcomings.
| |
| | |
| The biggest issue that people seem to be experiencing recently is difficulty in deleting a Turnitin assignment type from a course. The earlier versions of the Turnitin module were very insecure, and had a range of issues that they have partially addressed. - The approach they have taken has some major flaws as well.
| |
| | |
| Basically, their plugin just provides single sign-on into their own assignment submission process, keeping the Moodle sites header, and opening their site in a frame underneath. - this means that all assignments are stored in the Turnitin system, and there is no ability to store a grade in Moodle for those assignments. - if you canceled your Turnitin subscription, there is no way in Moodle to retrieve the files submitted either.

| Some organisations have implemented the existing module, but have found it has been difficult to support.
| |
| | |
| I have started writing a new Turnitin integration which is basically in proof of concept stage, however as there is no funding at this stage to continue development it has stalled.
| |
| | |
| The integration I have been working on has been approved for inclusion in Moodle 2.0 (see the Moodle Roadmap for details) but I plan to release a 1.9 version (and depending on funding a 1.8 version as well.)
| |
| | |
| My integration works with the existing assignment types in Moodle and basically just adds a tickbox to the existing assignment types to allow
| |
| submission to Turnitin. then after a student has submitted a file, behind the scenes, it passes that file to Turnitin, and gets an originality
| |
| score, and link to a full originality report that will be displayed to a student, and in the gradebook for teachers.
| |
| | |
| This integration will allow any module in Moodle to submit files to the Turnitin API, and be able to return a similarity report, and a link to a full similarity report.
| |
| | |
| Depending on funding, we will implement this as a teacher selectable option within
| |
| * single file upload assignment type
| |
| * advanced file upload assignment type
| |
| * online assignment type
| |
| | |
| with a plan to eventually implement this with:
| |
| * all files attached to forum posts.
| |
| * other modules that allow file uploads.
| |
| | |
| I'm currently planning to present at Moodlemoot AU and Moodlemoot NZ on the turnitin module - so hopefully it will be finished and released by then!
