Digital Education training

This workshop will introduce you to the Turnitin assignment.

After the workshop, you will be able to:

• Assess whether Turnitin assignment is the appropriate submission type to use for your module.
• Create a Turnitin assignment
• Apply the appropriate settings to control anonymous submissions and marking, enable the generation of similarity reports, apply rubrics or marking records.
• Grade and give feedback on an assignment in the feedback studio

What does the percentage generated by a Turnitin similarity report mean and is there a percentage that indicates academic misconduct?

This session will explore:

• How to interpret a Turnitin similarity report
• How Turnitin generates reports and how can you apply filters to refine reports.
• The university's policy on academic misconduct
• Where to find support for students to improve their referencing and academic writing skills.

This session is suitable for any teaching or support staff who use Turnitin.

Rubrics are structured grading forms to support consistency in marking and feedback when working in a marking team. Well-designed rubrics can also speed up the marking process. Rubrics provide students with a clear overview of the assessment criteria and the structured feedback can help students identify what they need to do to achieve a higher grade in similar assessments.

This workshop will explore the elements of a rubric and the steps required to create a Rubric or Grading Form in Turnitin.

This short online session will introduce you to the Moodle Gradebook.

After attending you will be able to:

• Set up a Gradebook with appropriate weightings on your modules
• Manage formative and summative assessments, resubmissions, and grades from assessments not submitted through Moodle.
