An issue has been identified that is affecting Turnitin assignments when a Moodle course is ‘Reset’.
At the start of the academic year and in preparation for the next cohort of students on a course, staff are required to ‘Reset’ their Moodle courses. This removes students work and grades but leaves course resources and activities in place.
Issue
The ‘Reset’ function in Moodle normally creates a new class ID for a Turnitin assignment and staff should then be able to edit the assignment settings accordingly. The issue that has been identified is that resetting the course seems to ‘lock’ the anonymous marking setting to ‘Yes’ making it un-editable. However, even if the Post date is edited and no submission has been made, student’s names are visible.
We have reported the issue to Turnitin and they have acknowledged that there is problem and indicated that they hope to have a solution we can implement by the end of the week.
Action Required (temporary workaround)
We recommend, where feasible, that you wait until we have a fix in place and refrain from ‘resetting’ your course until we advise otherwise.
Staff who have reset their courses in preparation for the next cohort of students or any staff planning to reset their courses before the issue is resolved should take the following steps:
After resetting your Moodle course:
- Delete the Turnitin assignment(s) that currently exist
- Create new Turnitin assignment (s) with the required settings
Guidance and instructions on creating Turnitin assignments are available from our Moodle Resource Centre: https://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/display/MoodleResourceCentre/M20+-+Turnitin+Assignment
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will advise when the issue has been resolved.
