LLCC Academic Innovation and eLearning is hosting the workshop “Using Turnitin in Canvas” today, Sept. 30, from 3-4 p.m. via Zoom. The presenter is Chris Vescovi, Solutions Consultant, Turnitin. Registration is required. Register for “Using Turnitin in Canvas.” Current online faculty participating in the Online Proficiency Program can receive one point for successful completion of this workshop.

Turnitin is a plagiarism detection and deterrent application, available to instructors within Canvas Assignments. When students post written work to an Assignment setup with Turnitin, the tool generates a Similarity Report which instructors can use to identify possible plagiarism. This workshop will explain Turnitin’s capabilities, how to read the similarity reports, and provide instructions on setting up Turnitin assignments within Canvas.

The Academic Innovation & eLearning professional development workshop schedule for the fall 2021 semester can be found on the AIeL Portal Page. The portal page contains detailed descriptions of each session. Many of the sessions listed are being presented by members of the LLCC Faculty-to-Faculty Support Team.

Sessions this semester will continue to be available online and live via Zoom, as well as sessions that offer both an in-person and virtual participation option.   Additionally, Canvas programing will be available through workshops, Canvas open labs (F2F and Virtual) and the Canvas Training Portal.
