Turnitin Resources for Instructors

When you use Folio, Turnitin can be enabled within individual Assignments Folders through the Evaluation & Feedback menu.

Make sure to view the settings options available in Turnitin. Sometimes you might want to have a document check against the Turnitin repositories, but you don’t want the paper submitted to them. For example: you are requiring a draft prior to a final paper or there is some IP associated with the document.
