Integrate with Turnitin

Why do we do a certification review? 

Turnitin facilitates an LTI certification review for the following reasons; 

  1. To document your integration for our internal teams, (sales, support etc). 
  2. To ensure that your integration is fully functional and adopts preferred workflows. 
  3. To trigger provisioning of your account in our Production system (if required). 

PLEASE NOTE! The integration must not be used by mutual customers until certification is achieved.

How? 

Once your LTI integration is complete, please select the 'Integrate with Turnitin' button at the top of the page and complete the questionnaire.

What happens?

A member of the Turnitin alliance partnerships team will reach out to you and connect you with a member of the Turnitin technical services team to facilitate the review.  The member of the technical services team will need access to your platform and instructions for registration, deployment and creation of the course/context area where the LTI deep linking launch is initiated.

A Turnitin sandbox account will be connected and the technical consultant will look to validate the points below.  If any issues are found, the technical services consultant will provide guidance via email and support you until certification is achieved.

What are we looking to validate?

1. Integration follows the LTI 1.3 core standard.

2. Integration is LTI Advantage complete, (preferred, some exceptions may be given).

  • Deep Linking.
  • Assignment and Grades Services, (if applicable to your platform).
  • Names and Role Provisioning Service.

3. Integration facilitates the Turnitin preferred workflows.

  • Deep Linking flow for a new Turnitin assignment creation.
  • Launch from course/context area for the student/submitter workflow.
  • Grade automatically synchronized back to the platform gradebook when added in Turnitin.
  • The grades release flag is used to control the pass back of grades to the student gradebook (this flag is sent in the 'lineitem' get request as "gradesReleased".

4. Automatic roster syncing

  • Student and Instructor users are added and removed from the Turnitin assignment when changes are made via the platform’s user roster.

5. Data points

  • Confirm users name and email are being sent.
  • Confirm context ID/course ID is being sent in every message.
  • Confirm the platform instance claim, 'product_family_code' attribute in the launch request identifies the platform. 

6. Custom parameter requirement checks

  • Turnitin supports substitute variables for assignment startdate:"$ResourceLink.available.startDateTime" and duedate: "$ResourceLink.submission.endDateTime".  If your platform requires/supports these the technical services consultant will check correct functionality.

7. If implemented, (requires 1EdTech membership to access specification to implement).

  • Submission Review facilitating Turnitin report viewer launch directly from the platform gradebook.
  • Course Group Service allowing student groups created within the platform to be shared with Turnitin. This provides an option for instructors to filter the assignment inbox to display a particular group when grading in a course containing multiple instructors.
