TurnItIn to be terminated December 19

we will not be renewing our subscription to the Turnitin plagiarism detection service after December 19, 2008. The decision not to renew was based on the following:

  • We now have a comparable product, Safe Assignment, for which we are not charged;
  • A survey sent to all full-time and part-time faculty asking about their use of Turnitin supported the decision;
  • Turnitin log files indicated relatively low Turnitin usage;
  • The Faculty Senate Academic Technology Committee unanimously recommended that we not renew Turnitin.

The Safe Assignment plagiarism detection service is available in all Blackboard classes and a link to a “how-to” guide is listed below. Please note: If you are relying on TurnItIn Assignments for fall semester grading, be sure they are completed before the cutoff date of December 19, 2008.
