What is Turnitin?

Turnitin offers Originality Checking on students' work for proper citation or potential plagiarism. Once a paper is submitted to Turnitin, it will compare with documents in a continuously updated database consisting of current and archived web pages, millions of student papers worldwide, and collections of newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, e-Books and e-Texts.

With Turnitin Moodle integration, instructors can access Turnitin without having to leave the Moodle environment or log into Turnitin directly. Watch this video to find out how.

Turnitin at HKU

Turnitin subscription at HKU has been made under the recommendation of the Knowledge Team, an action group devoted to helping HKU make better informed decisions and develop better strategies for using ICT to enhance teaching and learning. Since its subscription in September 2004, usage of the software has gained wider adoption within the University community. Periodic reviews have been conducted as regards the usefulness and effectiveness of Turnitin in the support of teaching and learning. As in previous surveys, the June 2009 survey returns revealed favourable feedback from instructors. Most respondents indicated that they will use Turnitin in the future and would recommend it to other colleagues. Though respondents noted the limitations of the Turnitin matching sources, they also acknowledged the usefulness of the software in assisting them to spot potential cases of plagiarism.

HKU Policy on Plagiarism

HKU has published a document on plagiarism -- "What is Plagiarism?". Below is an excerpt from this HKU document.
Regulation 5 of the University's Regulations Governing Conduct at Examination provides: "A candidate shall not engage in plagiarism nor employ nor seek to employ any other unfair means at an examination or in any other form of work submitted for assessment as part of a University examination. Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use, as one's own, of work of another person, whether or not such work has been published."
Put it simply, plagiarism is copying the work of another person without proper acknowledgement. There are two parts in the definition: copying and the absence of proper acknowledgement. As a result, it gives an impression to an ordinary reader that the work is the original work of the author when in fact it was copied from some others' work. The idea underlying plagiarism is very simple: if you appropriate the work of another person, you should give proper recognition to that person.
Plagiarism covers "any other form of work submitted for assessment as part of a University examination". It covers theses, dissertations, take-home examinations, assignments, projects, and other forms of coursework. It applies to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Copying does not necessarily mean copying word for word. Closely paraphrasing or substantial copying with minor modifications (such as changing grammar, adding a few words or reversing active/passive voices) is still copying for this purpose. It is not so much the form of the copying that is important, but the substance of what is copied. It does not matter what the nature of the source is. It may be a book, an article, a dissertation, a Government report, a table from the internet, a memorandum, or simply an assignment of another student or even teaching material distributed to you. The source may also be graphics, computer programmes, photographs, video and audio recordings or other non-textual material. It does not matter whether the source has been published or not.
