If you have content in a module in Moodle that students are studying in the current academic year, the content will not be deleted from Moodle. Your content will remain in place in Moodle at the end of the academic year. You should hide or remove any content that you do not want students to see when they access the module area in Moodle.
Your content will remain in place on the modules that you were lecturing on last year. Your content will only be available in the current academic year in Moodle if you have imported this content across to the same module again. The Cenre for Technology-Enhanced Learning is not automatically informed if a lecturer is no longer teaching on a module.
Lecturers can unenrol themselves from a module in Moodle without having to contact the Moodle helpdesk.
Turnitin is a plagiarism detection software that can be accessed through Moodle to check students’ work for plagiarism.
The Turnitin software used at Turnitin.com is already integrated into Moodle. As a student, you can only access it once your lecturer has set up a Turnitin Assignment Submission within the module area in Moodle.
If you experience any problems with submitting assignments to Turnitin, please contact the CTEL helpdesk via email at moodle@setu.ie or via phone at 051 834114.
There is no need to sign up for a separate Turnitin account as you automatically have an account when you are assigned as a lecturer to a module in Moodle.
All training materials are available at the Turnitin.com website. Please note that the only options available to students are just the Originality report.
If the lecturer selected Use repository when setting up the assignment, then the assignment will be part of the Turnitin database. This is necessary if you want other assignments to be compared to this assignment. Please note that the copyright for the assignment still rests with the author.
It takes approximately one hour to check for an assignment when first uploaded. Please note that results may be returned quicker than one hour depending on the volume of users.
