This article is now out of date. To access Turnitin assignments before summer 2018, you need to log in to Turnitinuk.com.
Since summer 2018 we have moved to version 2 of the Turnitin integration, which allows you to access Turnitin assignments from within Moodle. The older version (version 1) has been unsupported by Turnitin since the beginning of 2019 and it will be uninstalled from Moodle in June 2019. As a result of this removal, version 1 Turnitin assignments won’t be accessible from within Moodle. In practice this means that all links to Turnitin assignments in your Moodle courses, which were created before summer 2018, will disappear after June 2019. If you require access to older assignments, you can either migrate them to version 2 (anytime before June 2019) or access them anytime via the TurnitinUK website.
How do I migrate old assignments to version 2?
- Go to the course in Moodle.
- Click the link to the Turnitin assignment.
- Click Migrate Assignment.
What do I do next?
I received a green ‘success’ message after migration
If, after the migration process is completed, you received the following message:
Your assignment has successfully migrated from Moodle Direct V1 to V2. The original V1 assignment has been removed.
then the migration has been successfully completed and the original version 1 assignment has been removed from Moodle. You can go to the course homepage, turn editing on and move the newly created version 2 assignment anywhere in the course.
I received a red ‘warning’ message after migration
If, after the migration process is completed, you received the following message:
Your assignment has successfully migrated from Moodle Direct V1 to V2. However, some grades failed to update in the grade book during migration. The original V1 assignment is available for you to check any conflicting grades. Please remove the V1 assignment once you’ve completed this check.
Warning: Failing to remove a migrated V1 assignment may cause grades to count twice towards the grade book total.
then the migration has been successfully completed, but the original version 1 assignment remains in the course. Going to the course homepage, you should see the migrated assignment at the top section of your course, while the version 1 assignment stays at its original location, becomes hidden from students and displays the message “Migration in progress…” (the migration has been completed despite this message).
You can turn editing on and move the newly created version 2 assignment anywhere in the course. Do not delete the old version 1 assignment, as it will be removed with the Moodle plugin after June 2019.
Please note that you need to repeat the above process for all Turnitin assignments you wish to migrate to version 2. The migration will not be possible after June 2019, when the Moodle plugin will be removed.
