- Remove anonymity on the assignment
- Edit the Turnitin assignment, click on Submission point then open Settings.
- Bring the “Feedback Release Date” forward to today’s date.
- Make sure you set the post date in the future, by at least a few minutes. Setting the post date in the past can be problematic.
- Student names will now be visible in the Turnitin Assignment Inbox.
- Edit the Turnitin assignment, click on Submission point then open Settings.
Once the ‘Post Date’ has been brought forward, go to the Full Grade Centre and ensure that the column remains hidden from students. This will prevent students from accessing their grades and feedback in My Grades.
