Turnitin
What is Turnitin?
Turnitin is UWA’s only text-matching software, and our Assessment Policy requires we submit all text-based assignments through text-matching. The marking tools available in Turnitin can help you increase the quality of your feedback and the efficiency of your marking for any type of assignment.
This online platform is integrated with and accessed via your LMS Blackboard unit, and it allows us to:
- Accept and manage student assignments
- Mark and provide feedback to students
- Check student submissions for text-matches, which can sometimes indicate academic misconduct
