>> In this video we will cover how to read an originality report and Feedback Studio. To access the originality report, e-rater grammar and spelling check and provide feedback to students using Feedback Studio, go to your assignment list under assignments, and click on the name of your assignment. In the assignment inbox, you will see a list of your students that have submitted the assignment, the paper title, when it was uploaded by the student, if it was a late assignment, if they have viewed your feedback when the release date passes, the grade once the paper is graded in Feedback Studio, and the similarity report score.

[00:00:42]
To view the originality report and e-rater spelling and grammar information click on the report score icon. Feedback Studio will open in a new window. Click on the layer button to see the grading layer, the similarity layer, and the e-rater layer. If you want to focus just on the similarity layer first, unclick the grading layer and the e-rater layer.

[00:01:08]
Click on the originality or similarity score to see the major matches. The score ranges from zero to one hundred, with zero being the optimal score. In this case the score is fifty-eight percent, which means that fifty-eight percent of this paper was matched to existing sources. The sentences or phrases that are highlighted in the paper represent borrowed words.

[00:01:30]
The matches are color coded and numbered to aid in navigating through the results. For example, the first two sentences are highlighted in purple and numbered with a three. This number three links it to this Wikipedia source. This number says that eight percent of the paper came from the source.

[00:01:48]
This percentage is based on the word count of the paper. By clicking on the number three flag, you can get a snippet of the source. To view the full text of that source, click here. The full source text of the article will display here. Text in red has been borrowed by the students, text in black has not.

[00:02:17]
You can scroll through the article to read it if you would like. To exit click here. If you are inclined, you may look at all sources of matches- not just the major ones- by clicking on this icon. All sources and their percentage matches will be listed. Bear in mind that some of these matches are from secondary sources and some are from primary sources.

[00:02:46]
As you scroll through all the matches you may see papers that are listed as student papers. The sentence or sentences that came from that student paper will also be highlighted. Click on the flag for more information. You will see a window that tells you that, because submitted papers remain the intellectual property of their authors, instructors, and respective institutions we are unable to show you the content of this paper.

[00:03:16]
If you would like to submit a request to the professor of the course to view this paper, click on the name of the institution. A new window will open with this information you can submit a request to the professor or privacy officer at the school to view the paper.

[00:03:35]
It is at their discretion to grant the request or deny it. If you would like to exclude some of the sources listed under "All Sources," you can click on "Exclude Sources". Boxes will show up in front of the source names, click on the box to choose the sources, then click exclude.

[00:04:00]
The report score will recalculate based on these excluded sources. You can restore the excluded matches using this icon. Click on the matches you want restored, and then click restore or restore all. The originality report score will recalculate based on the restoration of the sources. If you set any exclusions within the assignment itself you can adjust them here, if you set no exclusions you can apply them here.

[00:04:37]
For example, you can exclude quotes or exclude the bibliography. Then click apply changes and see how it affects the originality score. In this case the score did not change. You can generate a new report with these changes if you like. You can exclude matches that are a certain number of words or less.

[00:04:58]
In this case, I excluded matches that were ten words or less. Apply the changes and see how it affects the originality report score. In this case, the score drops to fifty seven. You can generate a new report with these changes if you like. You can exclude matches by percentages as well.

[00:05:19]
This percentage is based on the total word count. In this case, a ten percent match will remove all matches of one hundred and thirty six words or less. Click apply changes, and see how this impacts the originality report score. In this case, this score drops to forty two.

[00:05:36]
If you would like you can generate a new report with this setting. You can also disregard the exclusions based on word count by choosing "Don't exclude by size." In this case, I also chose not to exclude quotes or the bibliography. Click apply changes. The score will revert back to the original score of the originality report.

[00:06:03]
Go back to the layer icon and unclick the similarity layer and the grading layer to view the e-rater layer only. Click on the e-rater icon to see the grammar and spelling recommendations. For more information click on the squares. When you click on the squares, a brief explanation is offered.

[00:06:27]
To get a more in-depth explanation, click "View Handbook." The expanded handbook explanation will open in a new window. If you have allowed more than one submission, you may need to find out which is the latest version of the paper. Click on the information icon for this. It will tell you the submission date and time.

[00:06:57]
You may need to download the grading report, originality report, and/or the e-rater a report, to do this click on the download icon. Then click current view. If the similarity layer is the only layer selected, then the report will only contain the similarity information included in the overall match score, a list of the major matches, and any exclusions.

[00:07:23]
If the grading layer is the only layer selected then the report will only contain the grading information, including rubrics feedback and overall comments. If the e-rater layer is the only layer selected then the report will contain only grammar and spelling issues. If all layers are selected then all the information will be included in the report.

[00:01:08]
Let's begin by clicking on QuickMarks. You will see a preloaded list of QuickMarks here. These QuickMarks are organized into a QuickMark set called commonly used. There are several preloaded sets of QuickMarks available to you. To explore them click on the arrow to access the drop-down menu.

You can also create your own set by combining QuickMarks from other sets by clicking here or here.

[00:02:09]
To do this, click on "Create New Set" and name it. In this case I named it "my set." From there, you can grab QuickMarks from other sets and add it to your new set. To do this, choose the set to view the QuickMarks from the drop-down menu previously discussed.

[00:02:30]
Then click on the QuickMark you want to add to your set, and select "Add to Set." Select your target set from the set list and the QuickMark will be added to it. You can add multiple QuickMarks from multiple sets this way. When you are done click close. From the drop-down menu you can choose your newly created QuickMark set and see the QuickMarks that you added to it.

[00:03:26]
You can choose to add personalized feedback by clicking in the paper space and choosing the speech bubble icon. Type your message here you can bold, italicize, and even provide a hyperlink in your message using the hyperlink icon. For example, here I asked the student to update the statistics used in the paper and provided a link to where those statistics could be found.

[00:04:00]
It is possible that you may find yourself writing the same feedback on multiple papers and as said, you want to make a personalized QuickMark out of this feedback. To do this quick convert to QuickMark. Name the QuickMark and choose the set to save the QuickMark into. In this case it is to "my set." Then click save.

[00:04:25]
The newly created QuickMark will show under the QuickMark set called "my set," and you will be able to use it on other students papers. You can also choose to add personalized feedback by clicking in the paper space and then clicking on the text icon. You can type text directly on the paper.

[00:04:57]
Perhaps you would like to make sentence specific comments. You can highlight a sentence in the paper and choose to associate a particular QuickMark with it by clicking on the QuickMark icon. You can also add a personal note to that existing QuickMark. You can highlight a sentence in the paper and choose to provide personalized text using the speech bubble icon.

[00:05:28]
After providing the feedback you can choose to convert it to a QuickMark if you wish. You can highlight a sentence in the paper and choose to strike through the sentence. The sentence that was highlighted has a strikethrough indicated. You can associate a QuickMark with your rubric by clicking on the QuickMark icon and choosing assign criterion.

[00:06:01]
Then choosing the criterion to which this QuickMark is related. You can associate as many QuickMarks as you would like to the rubric. This symbol indicates that they are associated to a criterion. You can choose to give overall feedback to the student by clicking on this icon. You can record a voice comment up to three minutes in length, you can also play it back and then save it.

[00:06:32]

You can look at the rubric you created for this assignment click on the enlarge icon to view it full screen. This is the rubric at full screen. You can see that there is feedback associated with each criterion listed.

[00:07:00]
Click on the feedback icon to view that individual feedback. When you have filled out the rubric, you can click apply to great then click close. The grade will appear on the paper. Click on the arrows to navigate between students. If you have allowed more than one submission to the assignment, you may need to find out which is the latest version of the paper in order to grade the correct one.

[00:07:31]
Click on the information icon for this. It will tell you this submission date and time. You may need to download the grading report, originality report, and/or e-rater report. To do this, click the download icon. Then click current view. If the similarity layer is the only layer selected, then the report will only contain the similarity information; including the overall match score, a list of the major matches, and any exclusions.

[00:08:08]
If the grading layer is the only layer selected, then the report will only contain the grading information including rubrics feedback and overall comments. If the e-rater layer is the only layer selected, then the report will contain only grammar and spelling issues. If all layers are selected then all the information will be included in the report.

[00:08:30]
Because the grade you entered in for the assignment in Feedback Studio goes to the Canvas gradebook immediately, you might want to consider muting the assignment as you were grading, then and mute the assignment when your feedback release date occurs. That way, your students see their grade and your feedback at the same time.

Description of the video:

[00:00:01]
>> This video will show you how to create a Turnitin assignment in Canvas. Please navigate to your course and click on "Assignments." Then click the "+ Assignment" button. Name your assignment; provide directions; set the point value; assign it to a particular assignment group if you've created any; and choose to display the grade as a percentage, complete/incomplete, points, letter grade, G.P.A. scale or not graded.

[00:00:33]
You can also choose to give this assignment a grade but not include it towards the final grade. Choose "External Tool" from the drop-down menu next to submission type, then click "Find." From the pop-up choose "Turnitin" and then click "Select." Assign the assignment to everyone, put in a due date, an available from date, and until date.

[00:01:03]
Because students need access to Feedback Studio to see your feedback, it is best practice to set the "Until Date" for after the due date plus, the time it takes you to grade the assignment, plus the time you want your students to be able to access your feedback. In this case, I set the until date to be the end of the semester.

[00:01:23]
If you differentiate this assignment, the due date and Turnitin will reflect the latest due date. For example, if one student's assignment is due September eighth, and the others are due on September seventh, the due date and Turnitin will reflect September eighth for the instructor. However, it will reflect the correctly assigned due date for the students click "Save" or "Save & Publish".

[00:01:54]
The Turnitin assignment inbox will generate. Click on the setting gear. As you can see, the title of the assignment was carried over from Canvas. The instructions you entered in Canvas shows at the top. If you want to copy those to the turn it in directions you can do that here.

[00:02:14]
The point value, start date or available from date, and the due date also come over from Canvas. The feedback release date is when you want your feedback to be available for students. If you want them to get the feedback all at the same time, give yourself enough time to grade and enter a release date for after that time.

[00:02:35]
In this case, I have given myself a week to grade the assignment. If you are not concerned that some students get their feedback before others, match the release date to the due date for the assignment instead. You can choose to allow submissions of any type such as jpegs even though turn it in cannot check images for plagiarism.

[00:02:57]
in order to generate an originality report, Turnitin needs readable text such as in Word documents, Excel files, Powerpoint etc. Image files do not provide readable text. However, if you are a graphic arts teacher you may want to use Feedback sStudio to give feedback to students and not be concerned with an originality report.

[00:03:20]
Next, click on optional settings. From the drop-down menu you can choose to store the submitted papers or not. For example, if the paper was a draft and the final would be submitted in another assignment, you may not want to store the draft version in order to avoid an artificially high originality report score on the final paper.

[00:03:43]
It might be better and this situation to only store the final paper to the repository. You can also choose to allow late submissions. However, this applies to students who have not already submitted an assignment before the due date. You can enable e-rater grammar and spelling check. This feature give students immediate feedback as it is generated at the same time as the originality report.

[00:04:11]
That means that students get plagiarism feedback and grammar and spelling feedback within five minutes of submitting your assignment. If enabled, students can then make adjustments to their paper based on this initial feedback and turn in a well put together final product. You can choose the grade level from the drop down menu English learners, elementary, middle school, high school, and advanced are your choices.

[00:04:38]
You can also choose to use either the U.S. English Dictionary, the U.K. English dictionary, or both and you can also choose which categories you would like e-rater to check. You can choose to attach a Turnitin rubric and choose that rubric from the drop-down menu or you can create a new rubric by clicking on "Launch Rubric Manager." This is the rubric manager.

[00:05:08]
From the drop-down, you can choose to create a new rubric or you can choose to import one. Turnitin can import rubrics in Excel spreadsheet and RBC file formats. For this video let's create a new rubric. Name the rubric, then enter in each criterion and scale. If you need to add a criterion, click the plus sign icon.

[00:05:37]
If you need to add a scale click the plus sign icon here. You can choose to weigh the criterion equally or not. Don't forget to set your scale. For example, I have decided that the first column will be full credit and ranked as four and the last column will be considered incomplete and ranked as one.

[00:05:55]
You can also choose a point based rubric or a report that has no point value and use for feedback only. When done click save. The newly created rubric will show in the drop-down menu for you to choose. You can choose which sources to compare the submitted papers and went to generate the originality reports; immediately with no resubmissions allowed for the students, immediately with up to three resubmissions allowed- which would generate a report immediately.

[00:06:30]
With the four resubmission there is a twenty-four hour delay to receive a new originality report. Or you could have resubmission sell out but the reports generate on the due date. If you are using Turnitin as a teaching tool, it is a good practice to allow students to see the report, make changes as needed, and submit a better paper for you to grade.

[00:06:55]
You can choose to allow students to see their originality reports. You can also choose to exclude bibliographic material, quoted material, or small sources. This is discussed in more detail in the originality report video. Under additional settings, you can choose to add PeerMark to the assignment or not appear marked allow students to conduct peer reviews online.

[00:07:21]
If you want to save the settings as defaults for future assignments you can. When you are done quick submit. Your students are now ready to submit their assignment.

[00:00:00]
>> This video will show you how to view your students' reviews in Turnitin for an assignment in Canvas. Please navigate to your course and click on "Assignments", then click on the name of your assignment. For this training video, the option for using PeerMark was already enabled when initially creating the original assignment.

[00:00:23]
In addition, choosing to not allow late submissions for that original assignment is highly recommended when using PeerMark. If you have late submissions enabled, and a student cements the original assignment after the PeerMark release date, that student can make a peer review. However, their assignment will not be reviewed by their fellow students.

[00:00:46]
For questions on creating a Turnitin assignment in Canvas, please see the "How to Create an Assignment in Canvas" video. Click on the PeerMark reviews tab. On the PeerMark reviews tab you will see a list of the students in your course. The blue square indicates that they have turned in an assignment and will receive a review to make.

[00:01:11]
In the submitted a column, you will be able to see which students have made their assigned review or not. You can also see who has a review that they can access after the feedback release date. Please note that due to an uneven number of students in a class, one student will receive more reviews than others.

[00:01:32]
If a professor clicks on the blue pencil icon button, they will choose to review the paper themselves as a student reviewer. There is no undo button for the review once it is clicked. The student will see this review even if it is not submitted. If you do you know wish to submit a review to a student as a student reviewer please do not click on this button.

[00:01:57]
If you want to see the reviews that the students have submitted click on the submitted icon. You can see the progress that the student has made in their review and the name of the person the student has reviewed. Note that a point value shows. This only shows in the instructor dashboard and is being addressed by our engineers.

[00:02:20]
If there is no point value assigned, the student does not see a point value listed. To view the review that the student has submitted to click on the blue checkmark button. You can see the questions the reviewer answered for this paper and any other comments they might have left.

[00:02:41]
You can click on the comments tab to get a list of those extra comments the reviewer provided. You can record the grade you want to assign to the student on a piece of paper, or in a separate Excel spreadsheet if you like. If there was more than one review made for the student, you can use the arrows to navigate to the next review.

[00:03:03]
If you want to see the review that a student received, click on the received icon. You can see who reviewed this student. To see the review that was made of this paper click the blue checkmark icon. You can see the questions the reviewer answered for this paper and any other comments they might have left.

[00:03:25]
