Text matching with Turnitin CPF

Turnitin CPF (Canvas Plagiarism Framework) is used to assess electronic assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. Submissions are matched against a database of texts for similarity. It provides a 'Turnitin similarity score' on matching text but does not directly check plagiarism. 

CPF refers to Canvas Plagiarism Framework, a streamlined way to integrate Turnitin's plagiarism-checking technology into Canvas assignments while using Canvas's built-in tools for marking and feedback

The Turnitin CPF text-matching service can also educate students on appropriate citation, referencing and paraphrasing techniques. 

Using Turnitin CPF

Turnitin CPF is available when creating an Asssignment in Canvas with the 'Submission Type' of 'Online'. 

To view a Turnitin similarity score on a submitted assignment, access 'SpeedGrader'. From an individual Canvas assignment, a link to Speedgrader is in the righthand side menu under 'Related Items'.
