Hi,
On a couple of assignments it seems the cut-off date in Moodle becomes the due date at Turnitin which is a problem if the "Report Generation Speed" is set to "Generate reports on due date" and the cut-off date is significantly later than the due date. I tried editing the due date and the Turnitin end but it soon reverted.
Is this mapping of cut-off to due date by design?
Thanks,
Andrew
Thanks again John.
Cheers,
Andrew
No, not currently. We're remaining consistent across all integrations so students can view the DV if they can see their Originality score.
Thanks John. I take it there are no plans to allow just the similarity score to show the student.
Hi Andrew, no that permission was left in from Dan's original plugin and should really be taken out as it's not used. If a student is allowed to see the report in the Turnitin settings then they can also view the report in the Turnitin DV.
Hi!
It doesn't seem possible to *only* show the similarity score to the student. The capability "plagiarism/turnitin:viewsimilarityscore" seems to suggest otherwise but I cannot get this to work. I am probably missing something simple!
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi Diana,
I can't really add much more than what Mathieu has said. Thanks Mathieu.

Hello Mathieu,
Thank you very much, now it is clear. We haven't used the plugin previously, uploaded files to TurnItIn manually. This summer we upgraded to Moodle 2.9+, so it is time to automate also TurnItIn functionality.
Hello Diana,
If you wish to use the plagiarism plugin (which is what we use), you must configure turnitintooltwo. However, if you just wish to use turnitintooltwo and its assignment module, there is no need to install or configure the plagiarism_plugin.
Plagiarism plugin depends on turnitintooltwo, and you record your Turnitin Account ID and Shared Key in the settings for Turnitintooltwo. The plagiarism plugin allows you to use Turnitin more broadly in your moodle installation, allowing Turnitin to function in the existing Moodle assignments, forums, and workshops. If you use only turnitintooltwo, turnitin's functions will be relegated solely to the assignments received via their assignments module. If your institution is currently using the built-in Moodle assignments module for essay assignments, you may find there is a smaller learning curve with the plagiarism_plugin, since most of the submission processes remain unchanged. I have also noted that if Turnitin's services are down, we can still receive assignments with the plagiarism_plugin, whereas (at least with turnitintool version 1) students could not complete their submissions.
I hope that helps.
Dear Mathieu,
Thank you for your swift reply!
So do you think we should install and configure both plugins separately? Will one TurnItIn key work for both plugins?
Hello Diana,
This plugin integrates into the existing Moodle assignment module, adding a Turnitin section to the settings. However, it requires mod_turnitintooltwo to work. You can also use mod_turnitintooltwo on its own to receive assignments, but you will not have several of the Moodle assignment functions built in, such as alternative feedback options, notifications, etc.
Hello!
What is the difference between the official mod_turnitintooltwo (Turnitin's Moodle Direct v2) and this plugin? Which one should we choose?
If you could add them on the new repository that would be great. We'll still be sorting everything off the previous combined repository.
