Turnitin - Changes to Submission Workflow

Turnitin - Changes to Submission Workflow.

Today we released a number of changes and improvements to Turnitin, the most noticeable of which is a change to the assignment submission workflow for instructors and students. This change is specific to users submitting a single file to Turnitin from Turnitin.com, or select LMS integrations that offer a single-sign-on or a framed-in experience.

As we continue to expand Turnitin’s accepted file types to include files that may have little or no text, we now show an immediate image preview of the file being submitted. Below is the new submission workflow from a student perspective; instructors have a similar experience: First, the student fills out the Submission title field, and selects a file to upload (from local computer, Google Drive™, or Dropbox), then click the Upload button. Step 1: Select File After clicking upload, the student is shown a 'Processing' screen, with some additional information about the submission and assignment. Step 2: Processing A formatted preview of the first page of the submission is displayed. The user is prompted to confirm the submission. If for some reason a paper takes more than 2 minutes generate a preview (which is rare), there is an alternate workflow in which the user can choose a couple options: Cancel, and try again—the user will be taken back to select a file. Keep trying, I'll be back—the user can leave and will be sent an email with status information. The user can also decide to continue waiting. Step 3: Please Confirm The user can zoom in on the image preview if needed to help confirm that they have submitted the correct file. Step 3b: Enlarge Image Preview The user is shown a digital receipt, with some updates. Step 4: Digital Receipt

Additionally, we released a new feature called, Mark-Criterion Association, which is the ability to associate marks (bubble comments or QuickMark® comments) on the document with criteria in the rubric or grading form. The association will appear both on the mark and on the criterion in the rubric or grading form.
