You may be asked to submit your work to your teacher through a tool called Turnitin. Turnitin is used to check the originality of papers and the correctness of citation practices in students' work.
The Turnitin plugin in Moodle supports tools for plagiarism prevention (Originality Checking), online grading and feedback to students (GradeMark), and peer review (PeerMark). Turnitin is used within Moodle’s Assignment, Forum, and Workshop activities.
Deakin University uses Turnitin as the program that allows you and/or your teacher to check whether there is any unoriginal material in your work by comparing it to a database of print and online materials. Any matching text is detailed in an originality report.
Students’ use of plagiarism1 software is educational, some scholars say.More than half of UK universities supply students with plagiarism detection software to boost their writing skills, despite fears it may aid cheating.
