‘Turnitin’ is software that has been integrated with CloudDeakin to detect text in assignment submissions that may not be original. The new Turnitin Feedback Studio interface allows teaching staff to view the Originality Report and the GradeMark results at the same time, and toggle between the two.

Turnitin generates an ‘originality report’ that sets out the quantity and source of any text that is matched with other sources in the Turnitin database. Text submitted to Turnitin is checked against:
- over 60 billion webpages – both current and archived versions
- academic journals
- many ‘online classic’ texts and some textbooks
- papers submitted by other students anywhere in the world where Turnitin submission has been used – including submissions from previous trimesters.
Note: New file formats and sizes for submission for students (PowerPoint and Excel documents can now be submitted, with file size not exceeding 40 MB).
