Instructors Using Turnitin in BlueQuill

Activating Your Class's Turnitin Account

1. Navigate to the object that requires Turnitin activation.
2. Click on the Turnitin button shown below.
   
   
   
   • If the button has black text, you have never clicked on it before, which means the assignment has not yet been set up in Turnitin. This stops students from submitting to the Turnitin assignment. However, when the text is blue, students can now submit to Turnitin. 
     
     
3. Your classes Turnitin account is now activated, so they can submit assignments for you to view.
4. Use the Turnitin button to open the assignment in Turnitin.
   
   
   • From here, you can see submissions from your students. While there is a button to Grade the submission, this Grade does not carry over to BlueQuill. BlueQuill grading by you and BlueQuill submissions by the student are still entirely separate from this Turnitin integration and will need to be carried out directly in BlueQuill by the instructor.

IMPORTANT: 

Turning on Turnitin as an Instructor

If you would like to use Turnitin in your course but it was not built into the design of your course, then you can activate Turnitin through a course communication object. To do this:

1. From within your course, create a new course communication object.
   
   
   
   
2. Within that object, click on the "Turnitin" button to activate Turnitin.
   
   
   
   
3. Now, you can save either preview the object, save it as a draft, or publish it to the students. You will still need to follow the instructions above to set up the account for your course.
