What it does

The Turnitin implementation of the content-review service is exposed in the Assignments tool in the Add/Revise Assignment page, Assignment submissions list page, and student assignment submission view page. Where Turnitin is selected for the Assignment, student submissions are automatically sent to Turnitin, and result scores retrieved. A link is displayed for each submission for instructors to view the corresponding Turnitin report. See Screenshots of Turnitin in Sakai.

Configuration

3. Setting up the queue jobs

  • You may need to add the jobscheduler tool to your admin workspace
  • in the jobscheduler tool click on "new job"
  • Select "Process Content Review Queue" from the dropdown list
  • Give it a name in the text box (can be anything)

    Code Block

  • repeat these steps to create a job and trigger for the reports process "Process Content Review Reports"

Setting up the Turnitin API

You need to set up your Turnitin account to make use of the API.

...

A number of sakai.properties settings are necessary to configure the service. These are mostly specific to your institution's Turnitin account.

turnitin.aid

The account ID of your institutions primary TurnitIn account

turnitin.said

The sub account ID to which Sakai will submit content

turnitin.secretKey

The TurnitIn API password for your Insititution. If you don't have one speak to your TurnitIn rep to have one set

turnitin.apiURL (Optional)

Set this if you wish to override the default API URL. Institutions in the UK may have to set this to "https://submit.ac.uk/api.asp?"

turnitin.defaultInstructorEmail

The email of a default instructoir for the API to use

turnitin.defaultInstructorFName

A name for that instructor

turnitin.defaultInstructorLName

A last name for the instructor

turnitin.defaultInstructorPassword

A password for that instructor

turnitin.defaultClassPassword

The default join password set for classes the implementation sets up

turnitin.defaultInstructorId

the Sakai userId of the default instructor

turnitin.keystore_name (Deprecated)

The location of the Keystore containing the Turnitin certificates. As this is set as a system property it should be the same as any other keystores set in sakai.properties. We do not suggest you use this as it will overide the sytem keystore setting.

turnitin.keystore_password (Deprecated)

The keystore password. As this is set as a system property it should be the same as any other keystores set in sakai.properties. We do not suggest you use this as it will overide the sytem keystore setting.

turnitin.defaultAssignmentName

A default assignment name to use if none is specified

turnitin.defaultAssignId

The default Assignment Id

assignment.useContentReview

This is actually a property of the assignments module, but is generally needed if you plan on using the integration with Assignments, which is the primary consumer at the moment. Should be set to 'true' to enable the functionality in the end user Assignments tool.
