 A way to show students where plagiarism concerns exist and will make
recommendations to correct it
 A proactive tool to address student academic integrity and not simply for imposing
penalties
 Integrated with your D2L dropbox and will allow students to assess their citations
within draft documents prior to final submission.

Best Practices (cont.)
Use anonymized Similarity Reports to prompt in-class discussion, or for tutorials
Encourage students to examine text in their work identified as coming from another
source, and review how that section of text has been referenced
Develop an awareness that Turn It In will match against online sources, and they need to
ensure printed sources are referenced similarly
Use Similarity Reports to identify at-risk students and provide remedial action by inviting
individual students to discuss their work and provide guidance
Ensure your students have sufficient time to receive and act upon their Turn It In feedback,
as Reports may take up to 24 hours to generate
Usage Considerations
Must factor in opportunities for students to submit drafts,
receive the feedback, and act on that feedback
Students can opt-out. Provide backup options for assessment:
submitting multiple drafts to instructor
submitting associated annotated bibliography
providing copes of source documents
