TurnItIn

Difference? Because of TurnItIn, the matching of small phrases weren’t identified. For example, the phrase “Finding something on the Internet is like finding a needle a haystack” and “Dress for the job you want, not the one you have” are relatively common phrases

Expected Questions Does it integrate with Discussion Boards? No. This feature may be coming soon, but there’s no concrete planed date for. Can it detect self-plagiarism? If student re-submits a paper to same class, it WILL NOT cause a match to that student. However, it will match in a different course, as it’s considered self-plagiarism. The concept is students should be submitting new original work for their other classes and not recycle paper.
