Assessment Submission: Turnitin Turnitin is an online text-matching service which can be used to support academic integrity and address plagiarism. All submissions via Turnitin within CANVAS include the relevant wording for the e-Submission authorisation process. Students are to use Turnitin to verify that the work submitted is their own work and referenced accordingly. This software will be used by all staff to ensures original work by students is checked at submission of the assessment. e-Submission The University is obliged to obtain clear student authorisation on all assessable works. RMIT’s e-Submission process provides a valid authorisation equivalent to a signature on a paper coversheet allowing students to submit assessment works electronically. The e-Submission process requires that specific wording and a link to the assessment declaration is included in your assessment documentation in order to comply with legal and statutory obligations, and can be used with all RMIT teaching technologies, including; • CANVAS • WebLearn The use of fully electronic submissions saves significant time for both staff and students. Good practice • Providing clear advice to students on the e-Submission process as part of their assessment expectations assists in ensuring that it is straightforward for RMIT students to submit work electronically. • Students can submit non-electronic works via conversion by a digital scanner, i.e. paper-based assessments can be scanned and submitted for assessment via the e-Submission process. • Establishing a Turnitin assignment in CANVAS is a quick way to provide an e-Submission process for a class group. Students must submit all assessment task electronically via CANVAS as directed by their teacher. Students are not to email or hand assessment tasks to teachers in class, corridor or cafeteria etc
