This guide might be useful if Turnitin has not been enabled in a Moodle assignment activity before students submit their assignments. When this occurs, you can bulk submit all submissions for a particular assignment directly to Turnitin on the Turnitin website. This will generate a similarity report for each file submitted, but it will not notify the student or allow students to view the similarity report.

  1. Download all assignments from Moodle as a zip file. Do not down choose the option to Download submissions in folders.

  2. Sign in at https://turnitinuk.com/ using your LSE email address, but NOT your LSE password. If you don't have or know your TurnitinUK password, click "Forgot your password?” to create a new password.

  3. Once you have logged in, check that the Quick Submit tab is available at the top f the page. If it is not, follow Turnitin’s instructions to activate Quick Submit.

 

4. Select the Quick Submit tab.

5. Select the Submit button

6. Choose your settings. The most important setting being whether to choose standard paper repository, institution repository or no repository. Please see our Turnitin FAQs for more details on the repository options.

7. Select Submit.

8. Choose Zip File Upload from the dropdown next to Submit..

9. Upload the zip file you downloaded from Moodle

10. Enter first and last names for each of the submissions. If you want the submissions to remain anonymous, you can enter participant ID numbers instead. You cannot leave the name fields blank.

11. Select Submit. It may take a while to generate reports for all of the assignments contained within the Zip file. Once the similarity reports have been generated, you can click on the title of the submission to view it in Turnitin Feedback Studio.

12. Unfortunately, Turnitin doesn’t allow bulk downloading of similarity reports. If you wish to download a similarity report, you should open it in Feedback Studio and follow Turnitin’s guidance, Downloading the Similarity Report.
