Set Turnitin preferences for your assignments. IMPORTANT: If you copy your course forward each semester, you may have to relink the assignments that used Turnitin.  Please see the screenshots below to learn how to relink your assignments to the Turnitin integration. How2 Relink Your Turnitin Assignments in Copied Courses You will see a notification that says "There are 1 folder(s) that were Turnitin enabled in the previous course offering."  Press the "re-enable" button to relink the assignments to Turnitin. Enable TurnItIn on a new Assignment folder From the new assignment creation window, click to expand the Evaluation & Feedback panel. Click on "Manage TurnItIn".  Enable the settings you would like enabled. Note: GradeMark must be enabled in order to use any other functions, such as Originality Check.  Note: If your students will be submitting file types that cannot be "read" by TurnItIn, such as photographs, you must also click on the "More Options in Turnitin" button and check the box that says "Allow submission of any file type". Not doing this will prevent the student from uploading the photograph. Also, please be aware that the photograph will still be unable to be read by Turnitin, setting this functionality only allows the student to upload the file without receiving an error message.  Hit "Submit", "Save", and finish setting up your assignment folder settings.

What are the basics of Attendance? The Attendance tool enables you to create registers that track attendance for activities within your organization or course. You can track attendance for any number of activities and customize your registers to suit your needs. Use the Attendance tool to create sessions to track attendance and define attendance statuses for your activities. You can assign grades for user attendance, view attendance results, and track users that have poor attendance. How attendance is calculated The % Attendance field is calculated by adding the total assigned % for each status and then dividing it by the number of statuses that have an assigned %. This is represented using the following illustrated formula: Sum of Assigned % / Total of statuses with an Assigned % x 100 To understand how this calculation works in practice, consider a scheme with the following set of statuses: Symbol Status Full Name Assigned % Order P Present 100 1 A Absent 0 2 L Late 75 3 AA Authorized Absent   4 If the associated register has four sessions and you assign a user each of the above statuses (one for each session), their % Attendance field would include the P, A, and L statuses and ignore the AA status since its Assigned % is blank. As such, the user would have a % Attendance of 58.33 ((100+0+75)/(100x3)x100=58.33). Adding an Assigned % of 100 to the AA status would change the user's % Attendance to 68.75 ((100+0+75+100)/(100x4)x100=68.75). Track attendance On the Attendance Datapage, click the Enter Attendance Data icon and enter attendance data for your sessions. Use the Attendance Status drop-down lists to change the attendance status for your users. You can also click Set Status to set the same status for all users. Set your Cause for Concern percentage The Cause for Concern metric helps you track learners that fail to meet your attendance requirements by placing the Cause for Concern icon beside their names on the Attendance Data page. From the Attendance Registers page, click New Register or Edit Register from the context menu of an existing attendance register. In the Cause for Concern field, enter a percentage that indicates your minimum attendance requirement. Click Save. Delete attendance sessions, registers, or schemes Deleting a session clears all associated attendance data. Only delete sessions when you are confident that you no longer need the attendance data. From the Attendance Registers page, do one of the following: To delete sessions in a register or scheme, on the Edit Register page, click the Delete icon beside the applicable session. All attendance registers must have at least one session. To delete a register or attendance scheme, from the context menu, click Delete.
