Turnitin Direct -- Resubmitting

**OUT OF DATE**

See the OPTIONAL SETTINGS at this link instead: Turnitin Direct -- Creating and Modifying




Introduction

Turnitin Direct assignments can easily be configured to allow for re-submission before the due date of the assignment, and this is described below.

If you need students to re-submit after the assignment's due date, then you need to use the workaround solution described below.

Allowing Re-submissions BEFORE the Due Date

  1. In your Bb Learn course shell, find the Turnitin Direct assignment submission link.

    Your Turnitin Direct assignment will likely have a different name.

  5. Under "Assignments," for "Report generation speed," choose any option EXCEPT "Immediately, first report is final."
    1. Do not select "Immediately, first report is final."
    2. The other 2 options will allow students to re-submit their Turnitin Direct assignments up until the due date.

      The 2 screenshots below show the other 2 options.

Allowing Re-submissions AFTER the Due Date

Turnitin Direct does not have a built-in setting to allow re-submission after the due date.

Students can submit late, but they cannot re-submit.

But the following work-around solution will allow you to have students do this AND keep a record of their original submission with the original similarity report (also known as an originality report).

Note: the new similarity report will likely say the new submission matches the original submission, since the two submissions are likely to be very identical.

  1. In your Bb Learn course shell, find the Turnitin Direct assignment submission link.

    Your Turnitin Direct assignment will likely have a different name.
