Assignments

There are 2 assignment types. Both types allow submission to Turnitin for plagiarism checking, although one is more specific to Turnitin. There are pros and cons to each, but we recommend using Moodle's assignment type unless you are familiar with the Turnitin-specific assignment type. Turnitin has dropped its Turnitin Assignment 2 option and has replaced it with an LTI 1.3 option, which works like a portal to their platform (this is the way most textbook platforms are made available in Moodle now). You will see this in the Activities list as Turnitin Assignment.
