4 Turnitin Integration The Pearson LearningStudio platform is currently integrated with the Turnitin system to leverage the organization s originality detection capabilities. Previously the two systems were only integrated via a single sign-on mechanism which has been replaced by a deeper integration with the Learning Studio.NExT course dropbox. The current capabilities of the integration are as follows: o o o Native integration with the.next course dropbox system. Ability to review originality details from within the course gradebook and Dropbox interfaces. Ability to enable the integration on a dropbox basket by basket basis. How This Guide is Organized This user guide is broken down into two distinct parts: (i) set-up and (ii) user experience. The sections on set-up will cover campus set-up and course set-up workflows. The sections covering the user experience touch on the student experience when accessing Turnitin integration within their course, frequently asked questions as well as what the current escalation path is if user s encounter any issues with the integration. As starting point, included below is a high level snapshot of the typical path from enabling the campus through students accessing the integration within their courses to illustrate the tasks needing to be completed. Task Duration Owner(s) Educational Partner signs agreement with Turnitin Variable EP/Turnitin Turnitin and Pearson ecollege exchange campus configuration details 2-3 days ecollege/turnitin Pearson ecollege Application Support team configures client campus 2-3 days ecollege/turnitin Client Services team enables the integration via the Admin Pages interface 1 day ecollege Course professor enables the applicable dropbox baskets to utilize the Turnitin integration. Ongoing ecollege/turnitin Related Documentation You can get more information from: Online Help Release Notes Video Tutorials o Instructor setup of dropbox for TII Instructor-Setup.html o Instructor use of TII for assignment grading Instructor-Work.html 4

5 o Student use of TII Student.html 5

6 Campus Configuration Once an agreement has been signed between the Educational Partner and Turnitin the first step is get a corresponding tenant created within the Turnitin system. Turnitin Shared Client Adoption Process As stated above, the first step in getting ready to use the Turnitin integration is establish a signed agreement between Turnitin and the institution. Once that is complete, the intuition will need sign a statement of work with Pearson ecollege in order for enablement of the integration to occur. An example Account ID and shared secret values for a given campus would be as follows: Sample Account ID: Sample Shared Key: hjdk6785 Please note that the shared secret for any node level API key configurations must be the same. A campus can use multiple account IDs but the shared secret value for each account must be the same. Shared Key values must be exactly 8 characters In order to enable a given campus, the ecollege configuration team will need the account ID and shared secret values that were assigned to the client by the Turnitin team. The customer can utilize one account ID for their entire campus or can leverage unique account IDs for the applicable nodes on their campus. Please note that if node level configurations are set that you follow the detailed steps outlined in the Appendix of this document as not completing these tasks in the order specified will cause data inconsistencies between the ecollege and Turnitin systems which requires manual intervention by the technical teams on each side to resolve. Campus Configuration Process Turnitin Admin Interface: Prior to using the new integration enhancements, the Turnitin administrator for a given ecollege client will need to activate the new enhancements within the Turnitin Administrator interface. Log in to as the account administrator. Click on the button under integrations for the correct account number to configure their account's integration settings. Copy the information currently in the Open API row and place it in the ecollege section shown in the screenshot below. o If not previously, simply enter in the shared key provide by ecollege during the set-up process. o Enter in the default IP address indicated. Fill in the shared secret key and error callback URL with the default values indicated. Click the "save changes" button. Learning Studio Campus Configuration 6

7 Once the Educational Partner has enabled set the shared secret for the associated account IDs in the Turnitin system they will need to provide the corresponding values to their Client Services representative. These values will then be passed along to the Application Support team to set the corresponding configurations. Course Dropbox Configuration You must select specific Dropbox Baskets to use or not use Turnitin. This option is useful for when you have multiple baskets and would like to only manage midterm papers or special assignments for originality. Once a basket is selected for Turnitin, you have the option to deselect the check box at any time. In addition, you can enable Dropbox Baskets containing previously submitted assignments to use Turnitin. Once the Dropbox Basket containing previously submitted assignments is selected to use Turnitin, the system auto-generates an Originality Report for each document. 1. On the Tools menu, click Dropbox. 2. In the Edit column, click. 3. In the Turnitin column, either: a. Select the check box for each item you want to review for originality. b. Deselect the check box for each item you do not want reviewed for originality. Tip: Once Turnitin is enabled for an assignment, the Settings icon displays. 4. Click Save Changes. Turnitin provides a series of preference settings you can apply. 1. On the Tools menu, click Dropbox. 2. In the Edit column, click. 3. In the Settings column, click for the Dropbox Item for which you want to modify settings. The Assignment Editor page opens. 4. From the options provided, select preference settings accordingly. 7

8 Turnitin User Experience The Turnitin Originality Reports provide a summary view of how much of the content in a student paper is original. Not only can you see how much of the content is not original, but you can also see the source from which the content was originated. The Turnitin Originality reports are available from your Inbox view, the Student Dropbox view, and from the Dropbox Grade Detail page. In order to view an originality report for a given student submission the following steps can be followed: 1. On the Tools menu, click Dropbox. 2. From the Baskets page, click a Basket name to view the Inbox for that Basket. 3. In the Turnitin column, hover your cursor over the item for which you would like to view the Originality Report. If the Originality Report is not ready to view, or if there was a problem with the submission, the system displays the following status icons: - Submission in Progress. The system is actively processing your submission. Refresh the page after a few minutes. - Originality Report. The Originality Report is available to view. - Unsupported File Type. The submitted file is not supported by the system. Supported file types include: MS Word, Text, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Postscript, HTML, Word Perfect (WPD), and Rich Text Format. - Submission Failed. The system encountered an error. Contact your Client Services Consultant or System Administrator when this icon displays. - Service Unavailable. The system encountered a connectivity issue. Contact your Client Services Consultant or System Administrator when this icon displays. A full list of error messages is provided in the Appendix at the end of this user guide. 4. Click the percentage displayed. The Originality Report opens. Upon successful processing of a student paper to the Turnitin system, an originality score will be returned and visible result will be shown within the course gradebook and dropbox areas for that assignment. Below is table indicating the values that will be displayed within the course with the higher the percentage, the less original the content. Color Description Blue - Content originality is less than1%. Meaning, less than 1% of content is not original. Green - Content originality ranges from 1-24%. Meaning, 1-24% of content is not original. 8

9 Color Description Yellow - Content originality ranges from 24-49%. Meaning, 24-49% of content is not original. Orange - Content originality ranges from 50-74%. Meaning, 50-74% of content is not original. Red - Content originality ranges from %. Meaning, % of content is not original. 9

10 Frequently Asked Questions Summarized below are highlights of frequently asked questions in regards to the Turnitin integration: Question: What do I do if am getting a message stating course, user or assignment cannot be found? Answer: More than likely the Learning Studio and Turnitin systems are out of sync requiring a resubmission of requests. For the given area with the issue, provide corresponding course ID, login ID of the impacted user and the dropbox title as well as unit association to the Production Support team. They will proceed with wiping out the corresponding mapping tables in order to allow for re-enabling the necessary calls to Turnitiin. To complete this process you will need to disable and then re-enable the corresponding course dropbox basket. Question: Can I enable the integration midway into a term(s)? Answer: Yes. If there have been dropbox submissions within a dropbox that is later enabled for use of the integration they will be asynchronously passed over to Turnitin upon activation of the dropbox. Question: Can I update Account IDs for a campus after a term has started? Answer: Not without causing significant synchronization issues between the two systems. As such it is recommended to make account ID updates between term starts. Question: Can I use different Account IDs and shared secret values for my campus? Answer: The integration does support mapping of unique Account ID values on a per node basis. The shared secret values used for each Account ID must be the same across all Account IDs enabled. A sample breakdown is summarized below for reference purposes: Account ID Shared Key H68twjs H68twjs H68twjs3 Question: Can multiple instructors access the integration? Answer: Yes multiple faculty members can be enrolled in a given course and utilize the existing integration. Question: Are there any date restrictions for assignments in the Turnitin system? 10

11 Answer: Yes. Currently assignments cannot have dates that exceed five years in the future. By default if a course end date is set more than five years in the future it must be updated to fall less than five years from today to successfully connect to the Turnitin system. 11

12 Escalation Path (Pearson) The escalation paths for this integration break out in to two paths Pearson escalation paths and then the associated Turnitin escalation paths. For Pearson ecollege, please use the following escalation paths Pearson Helpdesk (student and professor level support/questions/escalations). Pearson Client Services Representative (for escalations from the campus administrator) Please note that any issue must be routed to at least the Application Support or Production Support teams prior to engaging the TII support team in order to determine the root cause of the issue. When escalating issues on the ecollege side or when contacting the TII support team the following information must be provided to the associated team: Current Account ID for the institution (can be retrieved via the Admin Pages interface) First Name, Last Name, Address and User ID of the impacted user Course ID and Course Title of the impacted Course Dropbox Basket name of the impacted assignment Escalation Path (Turnitin) For the Turnitin system please follow the indicated escalation path outlined below For how to questions users are able to a general support knowledgebase on the Turnitin site at - For any escalated issues please contact your Turnitin Account Representative. 12
