TurnitIn

Please Note

The Center for Teaching & Educational Technology supports faculty both in-person and online. We encourage faculty to visit our online Zoom room for drop-in support between 9AM and 4PM, every weekday. However, we will keep our physical office, Salazar 1060, open to support on-campus faculty, Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. If you need support outside of our business hours, faculty can contact our 24-hour Canvas support hotline or just email us at ctet@sonoma.edu, and we'll be in touch the next business day.

TurnitIn

Turnitin is an originality checking and plagiarism prevention service that checks submitted student work for citation mistakes or inappropriate copying. When students submit a paper, TurnItIn compares the paper to its database which includes billions of webpages, a repository of student work, and a collection of documents, journals, periodicals, and publications. The utilization of TurnItIn aligns with Sonoma State University's policy to be pro-active in dealing with issues of cheating and plagiarism.

Faculty have access to TurnItIn, which directly integrates within a Canvas course assignment.
