Turnitin (formerly SimCheck) is an advanced plagiarism detection and feedback tool embedded in Canvas, analyzing student submissions against a vast database of academic content, websites, and peer papers. It provides similarity reports with highlighted matches, plus AI-assisted grading and peer review features. SimCheck promotes academic integrity while offering formative feedback to improve writing skills.
Ensure academic integrity by reviewing similarity reports for every submission.
Help students understand originality expectations and improve citation practices.
Integrate Turnitin seamlessly into Canvas to simplify submission, and record-keeping.
You can enable Turnitin (SimCheck) from your Assignment Settings. Once enabled, you can edit the settings for Turnitin directly inside your Assignment Settings.
Explore the Turnitin User Guides. Learn about the Similarity Report, grading and feedback tools, and how to manage your user settings and preferences.
Instructors planning to use Turnitin should inform students via the syllabus and explain how it works before requiring its use on a particular assignment. To do this, we recommend sharing the Student Hub (Turnitin Guides) with your students.
