D2L Assignments: TurnItIn
The primary purpose of using TurnItIn® is to create an environment that is fair and transparent for students and instructors. The policy emphasizes that the uses of TurnItIn® as a deterrent or detector of academic misconduct are secondary to the primary educational purpose of the software.
Please refer to Policy 581 when using TurnItIn® in class with your students. In addition to the policy, you can download a friendlier infographic that provides an overview of Policy 581 and includes a checklist of steps.
This section provides you with information on how to create, manage, and deploy TurnItIn® assignments.
Note: When viewing reports, the percentage only indicates that there is some text that has matched other students papers of content on the web, perhaps legitimately sourced. It should therefore not be considered the amount a paper is plagiarized, but rather an indication that the instructor should review the submission in more detail.

Sample Statement for Course Outline
In this course, you will be asked to submit material in electronic form to a text-matching service to which MRU subscribes called TurnItIn. This is a service that checks textual material for originality, which also utilizes AI systems to analyze trends and make recommendations. MRU authorizes the use of text-matching software for educational purposes. Limited personal information should be entered into the software. If software options allow it, it is recommended that personal information entered be limited to MRU identification number, institutional email address and coursework. Students have the right to opt out of using the software and may choose another form of originality checking, subject to the agreement of the instructor. Students must notify their instructor of their intention to opt out by [date]. Inquiries can be directed to the instructor [Name – Title – Department - Mount Royal University - Institutional email address and/or phone number].
