This staff guide explains how to create a Turnitin assignment link in your Ultra module.
Before creating a Turnitin assignment, please refer to our checklists that contain recommended Turnitin assignment settings for a range of assessment requirements. If you are not teaching on an Ultra module please see our alternative Turnitin assignment guide.
Please follow the steps below to create a Turnitin assignment in your module. Turnitin must be added to the module content page and not within an Ultra document.
Important: Please do not set up embedded Turnitin assignments within Ultra documents as marks and feedback will be released early and marks will not sync to Grade Centre. If you create a Turnitin assignment within an Ultra document you will be presented with a pop up message regarding the risk. Please click OK. A pop up will appear to Insert item, please click Cancel.
Create a Turnitin assignment
a. Navigate to the Assessment area in your module where you want to add the Turnitin assignment link. If you need to expand a folder, you can use the arrow on the right.
b. Hover your mouse where you would like to add the Turnitin assignment link and you will see the plus icon (+) appear.
c. Click the plus icon (+) and select Other Content & Tools.
d. In the Content Market select Turnitin LTI.
