Copy a Turnitin assignment
Page last updated:
This is a staff guide on using the Turnitin copy assignment tool.Â
Assignment Copy is a feature that makes it easier for instructors to copy assignment setups from previous modules for use in new modules. The copy tool is not limited to instructors who created the original assignment. Any instructors that were enrolled on the module will be able to locate an assignment for copying into a new module.
You can copy Turnitin assignments already created and import them into a new module. This includes:
- Copying individual or multiple Turnitin assignments
- Copying all Turnitin assignments in a module
- Copy assignment setups into multiple different modules using the same assignment dates.
- Create one assignment setup as a template and then copy that assignment setup multiple times within modules.
Please make sure you check the recommended assignment settings in our creating a Turnitin assignment guide before copying assignments.
We strongly recommend that you check your settings every time you copy a Turnitin assignment, particularly those relating to:
- the Dates and for Original modules the settings in Grade Centre for Feedback Release Dates
- allowing late submissions and
- allowing students to check the similarity reports.
To copy a Turnitin assignment using the Turnitin Tools.
a. Create a Turnitin LTI.
b. Click Turnitin Tools and select Assignment Copy.
c. There will be a list of all modules you are enrolled on with Turnitin assignments. You can narrow the list by using Search for Class, either by module name, CRN, the academic year, assignment title or keyword.
e. Select the Turnitin Assignments with the tick boxes you want to copy. You can choose an individual assignment from multiple modules.
f. Edit the name and dates for the assignment copy or use the Bulk Dates option (you can edit these after copying) within the modules.
g. Check the Start Date, Due Date and Feedback Release Date and times for each assignment.
h. When you have finished updating the name, dates and times click Save.
NB: Editing the Assignment Instructions will need to be done individually after copying via the assignment settings cog.
