UIS Best Practices for Turnitin

Instructors can have students upload the files or can upload student files themselves. This means instructors can use for individual suspected cases of plagerism or as a plagerism deterent for the entire class.
Instructors can use Turnitin as a learning tool. Even papers in which you don't suspect plagerism may surpise you.
Groups can use Turnitin to check their peers' work for originality.
Side-by-side comparisons let an instructor view the submitted text alongside other matching sources. This can be used for verifying revisions in submitted papers, as well as a visual plagerism detection tool.
