Why use it?
Turnitin is a third-party service that matches text from student-submitted work against its extensive databases of previously submitted student assessments (submitted to either LSE or other institutions that also subscribe to Turnitin), websites and academic papers. Turnitin produces a similarity report and a score (%) of matched text. The similarity report contains any matches to sources along with the relevant links. Any ‘assignment activity’ created on Moodle can be configured to produce Turnitin similarity reports.
...
Turnitin can be found among the settings options for a Moodle Assignment Activity, and can be activated when setting an assignment up for the first time or when editing an existing assignment activity. Turnitin can be enabled at any point up until the due date of an assignment. Please note that it is not possible to enable Turnitin once the due date of a Moodle assignment has passed.
