This post contains\u00a0news of two recent changes in Turnitin functionality.<\/p>\n

Deleting Turnitin assignments<\/h2>\n

We have updated the connector which links our Blackboard system to Turnitin.<\/p>\n

As well as minor improvements and bug fixes, this introduces one new piece of functionality:\u00a0the ability to\u00a0delete Turnitin assignments from the Control Panel.<\/p>\n

This will be particularly useful on courses where – probably as a result of course copying in the past – you can see redundant Turnitin assignments listed in the staff view which are not visible to students, or in the Blackboard Grade Centre.<\/p>\n

To delete a Turnitin assignment<\/h3>\n

Go to Control Panel > Course Tools > Turnitin Assignments<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will see a list of all the Turnitin assignments on the course.<\/p>\n

On the right-hand side, for each assignment you will see a Delete Assignment<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"Delete<\/a><\/p>\n

When you click on Delete Assignment\u00a0<\/strong>you will see a warning message – press OK<\/strong> to confirm the assignment deletion.<\/p>\n

\"Delete<\/a><\/p>\n

A success message will be displayed\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Warning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are in any doubt at all – do not delete a\u00a0Turnitin\u00a0assignment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On some courses, you may have what appear to be duplicate assignments.<\/p>\n
