The New Standard Assignment with "Enhanced Similarity Report" has updated workflows, improved accessibility and provides a deeper insight into student submissions.
Key benefits include:
- Redesigned Interface: A more accessible and intuitive layout that enhances usability for instructors and students.
- Streamlined Assignment Setup: A cleaner, more responsive workflow for creating Turnitin Assignments and improved accessibility.
- Template Exclusion: The template exclusion capability is now also an attachment for students to use to complete the assignment.
- New Match Type Categorisations: Categorises matches into specific groups.
- Intuitive Match Grouping: The similarity report now categorises matches (e.g., Missing Citations or Not Citied/Quoted) so you can easily distinguish between formatting errors and deliberate omissions.
What staff need to do:
Staff do not need to change anything. Existing "Classic Standard Assignments" will remain unaffected.
When creating a Turnitin Assignment, Instructors will now have the option to create a "New Standard Assignment" experience or to create the "Classic Standard Assignment" that you are currently used to.
You will be provided with an option that allows you to select the assignment type you wish to create.
- Standard Assignment: Select to create a New Standard Assignment.
- Multipart: A Multipart assignment connects two or more assignment parts into one larger assignment workflow.
- Standard (Classic): Select to create the Classic Standard Assignment that you are used to.
When creating a "New Standard Assignment", you will experience the upgraded, streamlined creation workflow with additional features and student submissions will generate the newly redesigned "Enhanced Similarity Report".
What students need to do:
Students do not need to change anything. You will be able to submit to a Turnitin New Standard Assignment as normal. The Enhanced Similarity Report is an updated version of the similarity report that has updated workflows which includes a new categorisation of match types, new source cards with details about the highlighted match and a new tab navigation allowing users to easily access different report functionality, such as the similarity and flags panel.
