Accessing Turnitin
- If you simply want to view the originality report, you do not need a Turnitin account. When you create an Assignment in your e-Learning course, check the "Use Turnitin" box and a report will be generated for each submission.
- If, however, you would like to access the other GradeMark and PeerMark features of Turnitin, or you would like to submit any paper at any time for an Originality report, you will want to request a standalone Turnitin account.
