The Canvas Plagiarism Framework (CPF) is an easy to use method of obtaining Turnitin Similarity Reports for submitted assignments in Canvas.
Instructors may still continue to use Turnitin as an external tool for assignments. With the standard external tool integration of Turnitin, instructors may use all features of Feedback Studio including the Originality Report, Grademark, and Peermark. With a second Turnitin integration via the Canvas Plagiarism Framework, instructors who only use Turnitin for the Similarity Index and Originality Report will benefit from a simpler workflow.
This release is often referred to as Turnitin LTI 2.0 and combines native Canvas assignment settings to drive the Turnitin settings. Some benefits include:
- Increased ease of use for instructors who only use the Turnitin for the Originality Report
- Ability to allow students to submit after the due date
- No need to set feedback review dates for imported assignments using Turnitin.
- Course copy of assignment with Turnitin will not experience errors.
- Support for Canvas Group Assignments
Please review the External tool vs. Plagiarism Framework chart to determine if you should upgrade to the Canvas Plagiarism Framework. Using this new integration will prevent Turnitin errors that instructors experience when importing assignments using Turnitin as an external tool. Turnitin via the Canvas Plagiarism Framework supports course copy (importing content into a course) but does not yet support assignment duplication (copying an assignment within a course).
For more information, please review the documentation on how to enable the Canvas Plagiarism Framework in Canvas, the Instructor Guide and the Frequently Asked Questions.
