TurnItIn is academic software. TurnItIn has a large database of
scholarly information including hundreds of thousands of publications,
millions of student papers and billions of websites. When a student
submits an assignment, usually via Moodle, the text is checked against
TurnItIn's large database. It checks for similarity in the text.
Lecturers and tutors can then review any instances of similarity to
ensure that the assignment adhere's to ITB's plagiarism guidelines.
When students write assignments, they often include the ideas, words, thoughts, opinions and facts generated by other writers. This is a normal part of academic writing; however, it is vital that these sources are referenced correctly within the assignment. TurnItIn is used to detect information that has been taken from another source but has not been referenced correctly.
