Moodle Direct V2 is the latest version of the Moodle Direct integration for Turnitin. Moodle Direct V2 installs separately to the original Turnitin Moodle Direct plugin within Moodle so that it can be used in parallel.

Key New Features

  • PeerMark - PeerMark is now integrated into the Turnitin Assignments and is accessible from the inbox for instructors and students.
  • Rubrics - Instructors can now attach their own rubrics to Turnitin Assignments and access the Rubric Manager, Students can also view any rubric that is attached to an assignment.
  • Quickmarks - An instructor's Quickmark manager (used within GradeMark) can now be accessed from within their Moodle environment.
  • More informative Inbox screen - An assignment inbox screen is now organised so that much more information is readily available and combined on to one screen.
  • Quick editing - Certain assignment details (e.g. dates and marks) can be edited quickly in the inbox without having to go to a specific edit screen.
  • Drag and drop submissions - Users can now submit via drag and drop. They will also be provided with an extract of their submission as proof that it has been submitted to Turnitin.
  • Class Migration Tool - Instructors and administrators can now recreate classes they have on Turnitin which may have existed in previous integrations or created through the Turnitin website.

Inherited features from v1

  • Multi-part Assignments - Each Turnitin Assignment may consist of up to 5 parts, parts can be configured to have start dates, due dates and post dates independent of one another.
  • Real Turnitin Users - The integration maps Moodle users to real Turnitin user accounts for both Instructors and Students, there is the option to disable student emails should an institution not wish to have students log in to Turnitin rather than Moodle.
  • GradeMark / Moodle Grade Book integration - Grades are synchronised between Turnitin's GradeMark and the Moodle grade book.
  • Anonymous Marking - Anonymous marking allows student names to be masked from instructors up until the post date.
  • Troubleshooting / Diagnostics - Diagnostic mode allows administrators to identify bugs and communication issues by enabling API call logs and displaying line numbers within error messages

    The Submission Inbox lists all course participants even if they are not students (teachers, admin etc). Why does it do this when we only expect submissions from Students? I can't see a way to filter out the non-students or use groups.

    Hi Arifah, the plugin will list all users as students that are enrolled but who don't have the ability to grade.

    Thanks John - follow-up question, how to you give a participant the 'ability to grade'? - I assume because we are on the Submission inbox it isn't automatically a function the Teacher role.

    The Teacher role or 'editingteacher' by default should have the mod/turnitintooltwo:grade capability by default. If not, then go to Site Admin and Manage Roles and enable that capability on the relevant user role.

    Hi All,
    We have just upgraded to 2021060801 ‘mod_turnitintooltwo’ and found the ability for our support staff to upload on behalf of our student in extraordinary circumstances has been removed after the due date has passed. This was a very useful ability and looking if there is a way around this or if there was possibility to have this added in the next review of the plugin? i saw in the key features of the update v2021060801
    Submit button is no longer visible after the due date
    The submit button will no longer be shown to students who have already submitted to the assignment when the due date has passed. The current functionality will remain for users who have not already submitted.
    Is it this update that has also changed the non- student access to the submit option?

    Kind regards

    Hi Nick,
    I think this not being available for instructors was an unintentional regression. We've fixed this in our development version and intend to release the fix in our next release.
    Kind regards,
    David.

    Is there any way to get the PeerMark grade to pass into the Moodle gradebook (either the instructor scoring or the peer scoring)?
    Just checking because I don't see this answered one way or the other in documentation and our testing appears to say the answer is no.

    Hi Jason, it's possible in theory but the API is not set up to return that information at the moment.

    Hello! In Moodle 4.1, we are now seeing that an instructor's directions for a Turnitin assignment appear twice by default, first in the standard Moodle area at top, and then again by default as a "summary" in the Turnitin area below. (This didn't seem to be the case in Moodle 3.11, our previous version.) I see that it is possible to collapse these repeated directions by toggling the red dot with the dash within the Turnitin area, but is there a way to make this summary hidden, or collapsed by default? Having these instructions duplicated by default creates unnecessary scrolling and may be confusing to users. Thanks for any advice or guidance here!

    Not sure who was consulted for the latest interface changes, but why does each activity/resource now take up three times more vertical space? There is no reason a student needs to know what type of resource it is by default (and if there is a reason we can just add it to the title), and having boxes around every single one makes it hard to group related resources. There doesn't seem to be any options on the settings to change this.

    Vidar, we have confirmed the latest version works for Moodle 4.3 and I have updated this plugin to reflect that.
