Turnitin LTI tool

Use this page to install and configure the Turnitin LTI tool for your organization. Installation adds Turnitin as an external tool provider, making Originality Reports and GradeMark available to instructors across all courses.

Turnitin can be installed at the system level (covers all courses) or at the course level by individual instructors who have their own licensing credentials

Requirements

  • A Turnitin LTI license for your organization.

  • Consumer key and shared secret provided by Turnitin.

  • A region-specific URL from Turnitin, unique per building where Turnitin is being installed:

    • US: https://api.turnitin.com/api/lti/1p0/assignment

    • UK: https://turnitinuk.com/api/lti/1p0/assignment

System-level installation (system administrators)

To add Turnitin as an external tool provider, refer to the Install external tool providers page. When filling out the form, use the following values:
