Analytics
Setting up a D2L Dropbox with Turnitin integration allows faculty to collect student submissions, check for plagiarism, and provide feedback in a streamlined manner. Submissions are checked for originality using Turnitin, which generates a detailed report on potential matches. Instructors can then review the reports, grade assignments, and leave feedback directly within D2Lusing annotations. This setup enhances academic integrity by detecting plagiarism while simplifying the grading and feedback process.

Note that Turnitin does not support all file types for originality checking, such as Excel (.xls), PowerPoint (.ppt), or images. For file types like Google Docs, students typically need to convert and upload them as a supported format, such as PDF or Word, for Turnitin to analyze them.
