Turnitin checks student submissions for unoriginal content and provides Originality Reports and GradeMark feedback. Use this page to install the Turnitin LTI app in your courses, create Turnitin materials, configure settings, and grade submissions.
If you're migrating from the legacy Turnitin API app, content does not transfer to the new LTI app. Complete the transition at the end of a term or school year. Contact Turnitin for details about accessing legacy content.
