Configuration and setup
Can I test the integration in Canvas before enabling it for my institution?
To begin testing, your institution's Turnitin administrator must create a sub-account in their Turnitin production account via turnitin.com or turnitinuk.com. Within this sub-account, they should edit the sub-account settings and uncheck the following boxes:
• Online grading
• PeerMark
• Grade book
• Discussion boards
Does the institution administrator need to enable the Canvas Plagiarism Framework?
Yes, only a Canvas administrator can enable this integration between Turnitin and Canvas. To do this, you can find instructions in our user guide.
Note: An administrator can either enable this at account level or on individual courses. This can be useful for testing the integration on a smaller scale.
Does an administrator need to be enrolled in the course as a teacher to configure Turnitin?
No, administrators can setup assignments without being added as a teacher on a course.
