Turnitin is an educational software known as a 'text-matching' tool. Its purpose is to demonstrate appropriate use of citations and referencing methods and ensure the academic integrity of academic work.

Turnitin compares a student's submission with a vast collection of internet documents, data, previously submitted papers, and a repository of periodicals, journals, and publications.

Turnitin is a plug-in to IOB Learn so learners will upload their assignments in the normal way and their report will be automatically generated. Your Turnitin account is for an academic year and will apply to all modules to which you are registered for a particular year and this will be integrated into the Assessment Handbook.
