19. TURNTIN SIMILARITY REPORT
21% of
this
paper
matches
other
sources
Highlights any
text that
matches
sources in the
Turnitin
databases, and
provides links to
them.
20. WHAT IS A SIMILARITY REPORT?
It displays the results of the text matches to internet sources
Checks:
• Websites (& archived)
• Student paper repository (Institutional & UK)
• Some journals & publications
So it can:
• Assist tutors in their professional academic judgment
• Be used as a learning tool to help students check their work
• Be used as part of academic integrity teaching strategy
22. HOW DOES IT HELP?
• Assists in validation of the originality of students’ work
• Provides equality of provision
• Helps maintain standards and quality of awarded marks
• Students can check poor paraphrasing and missing
citations and improve their academic writing
23
23. SIMILARITY REPORT:
LIMITATIONS
It does NOT detect:
• Older print sources & books
• Some electronic journals
• Password-protected website content
• Translated foreign language sources
• Mathematical equations
• Graphs, diagrams and images
• If someone else has written it
24
24. WHAT IS TURNITIN NOT?
It’s NOT a plagiarism detector
It’s NOT a substitute for an
academic’s professional
judgement
25
25. E-ASSESSMENT AT UOR –
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
• Let’s play Kahoot!
• Go to kahoot.it on your mobile device
& get ready for the quiz!
26
26. CHALLENGES
Tools are mechanisms for marking & giving
feedback – they don’t solve the challenge of
getting students to engage with their feedback…
27
27. KEY MESSAGES
Check arrangements in your School for
online submission, marking & feedback –
which tool & settings are you using?
Avail yourself of resources & support to
enable you to use the tools effectively
Ask for help if you need it!

Here to put the ‘e’s in to (e)Marking & (e)Feedback!
Hello!
The members of CQSD Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) cluster – here & happy to support in all things TEL, including eAssessment.
Here to put the ‘e’s in to (e)Marking & (e)Feedback!
Can’t talk about Assessment – marking & feedback – without talking about eAssessment – online submission, online marking and giving feedback online.

Objectives of the session
Objectives of the session
A favourite assessment cartoon – teaching & learning can be very different things! Assessment helps to check what learning has taken place. Teaching is only as good as the learning that has occurred.
OFSTED – look a the learning that is taking place rather than the ‘teaching’.
There are 2 supported tools available for online submission, eMarking & eFeedback:
Turnitin
Blackboard Assignment
BOTH available through Blackboard
Assignment life cycle developed by Manchester Metropolitan University.
ASK:
1. Has anyone done any online marking yet?
2. Does anyone know if / when they’ll be marking online submissions?
3. Which tools will you be using? Blackboard? Turnitin?

Web-based e-assessment management tool
Primarily for written assignments
Integrated into Blackboard
Key feature:
Text matching system (Similarity Reporting)
Compares text and highlights similarities
Finds unoriginal text from a variety of internet sources
No, the similarity index identifies matching text only
Within the database
Cannot check against new web-content, password protected websites, books and journals not available electronically
Need to use your professional judgement to prove plagiarism
Educational/ developmental tool
A web-based text matching system that checks for potential unoriginal content by comparing text in a student assignment against a database of sources. The database contains copies of electronic text on the internet, in published works, on commercial databases, and in assignments previously submitted to Turnitin by students in universities all over the world, including assignments obtained from internet sites that sell student papers.
It doesn’t determine if plagiarism has taken place
Does not replace an academic’s professional judgment
Instructor goes to getkahoot.com & logs in:
Log-in: unirdgtel
Password: unirdgtel
Open PGR eAssessment Quiz
Students pair up & go to kahoot.it & enter the PIN then follow the on-screen instructions
Discuss answers & reinforce key points
Objectives of the session
As well as EMA and formal summative assessments, technology can help with assessment in other ways. With a creative approach to assessment, for example, Blackboard has a range of tools – blogs, journals, wikis, discussion boards – that can be set up as graded activities. As well as assignments, there are self-marking tests/quizzes that can be deployed too.
