Note: The Turnitin Plagiarism Framework is the recommended method for setting up Turnitin within Canvas, as it is a smoother integration than the External Tool.
The Canvas Plagiarism Framework, one of two Turnitin integrations for Canvas, is designed for instructors who want to use the Turnitin service solely for plagiarism detection. All assignment feedback and grading activities take place within SpeedGrader and/or the Canvas Gradebook.
To add the Plagiarism Framework to an assignment:
-
Start a New Assignment or open the Edit Assignment page for an upcoming assignment.
-
Scroll down the Edit Assignment page. Under the Plagiarism Review section, use the drop-down menu to select Turnitin. 
-
Once the Turnitin tool loads, select your preferred settings and options. 
-
Note: Turnitin can be used for drafts-choose Do not store the submitted papers in the Store submissions in dropdown menu. 
-
Save the Assignment to continue drafting or choose Save and Publish if ready.
