Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - Turnitin Assignments: Create a Standard Classic Turnitin Assignment

Turnitin is a plagiarism prevention and detection tool integrated into Blackboard Ultra. It allows instructors to check student submissions for originality and provide feedback directly on the assignment. There are different types of assignments available in Turnitin. Create a Standard assignment when students need to submit a completed file or document for similarity checking, grading, or feedback.

NOTE: This is the only type of assignment in Turnitin that can enable PeerMark. It is not an option on Standard or Multipart assignments.
