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

Just noting that we're still affected of the error that Daniel reported two weeks ago. We're using the latest plugin versions on Moodle 3.1.12
I have just raised a Ticket with Turnitin. We have several different Moodle sites, all running 3.3.5+ (Build: 20180515). We use Turnitin via Assignment. We cannot attach a rubric to an assignment on the site running Turnitin2 2018052301. It works perfectly on sites running 2018031201. This seems to be a significant bug. Has anyone else experienced issues with the latest release of this plugin?
Hi Iñigo, this has been fixed and an updated version released.
Hi Cathal, we've released a new version since your question. Did this solve it?
Hi Ken, we're aware of this and will get it fixed.

I wouldn't advise attempting a roll back as Moodle does not have a downgrade process. Uninstalling the plugin and installing an older version would cause data loss for existing Turnitin data in the plugin.
Can you offer an explanation as to know how an error such as this could slip through your testing when releasing new versions of the plugin?
Ken
Thank you for getting in touch. I'd firstly like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
We will be starting work on this fix as soon as we can with the view to releasing at the end of the month. We do have automations which covers this functionality, however it seems that an additional check is needed to ensure that the rubric is saved and attached. The work that we do in the upcoming weeks will also include adding additional test coverage to ensure this wont be an issue moving forward.
Many thanks

I have been looking for a workaround but without success. I have found that if I add a rubric via a direct login to turnitinuk.com, this rubric gets deleted when I try to connect from Moodle. Please can you confirm that if someone uses the new plugin to look at previously marked work, there is no possibility that the rubric (and all comments) will be deleted? It does not appear to be happening with a test assignment I set up a couple of years ago, but obviously I have been reluctant to test on a recent live assignment.

Is it possible to run this plugin on moodle with one turnitin shared key and then the older version with other shared key. (https://moodle.org/plugins/plagiarism_turnitin)
Thanks!
