Enabling Turnitin within Assignment (Group Assignment)

Updated on

This is a guide for enabling Turnitin within a Group Assignment. If you know how to/have already created groups within your class, please skip the 'Creating Groups' checklist and move to the 'Enabling Turnitin on Group Work' checklist.

Creating Groups

1. Before creating group assignments, you might want to make sure you have groups created from your class. If you have already created groups for your course, please skip this section.

To create a group in your course, click on the 'Tools' tab on the navigation bar, the click 'Groups.'

2. Click on the blue 'New Category' button will take you to the 'New Category' page, where you can customize the category how you see fit.
