Using Turnitin – Faculty
The easiest and fastest way to create an account in Turnitin is to create a Turnitin assignment in Canvas first. First time creation of a Turnitin assignment through Canvas, will create a link between your Alliant email account and Turnitin. The process also creates your faculty account in Turnitin. You can use an expired Companion course to create the assignment. Keep the assignment unpublished so it does not display to students. Once your account has been created in Turnitin you can log in to Turnitin directly, bypassing Canvas. |
