Turnitin Plagiarism Review

This tool is only available in Canvas Assignments, and when the submission type is set to “Online” and “File Uploads.” It will generate Turnitin Similarity Reports and spelling/grammar suggestions (if ETS e-rater is enabled) on student submitted files. The Canvas SpeedGrader is used to access the reports, enter student grades, and add inline comments.

Note: This option does support group assignment submissions in Canvas.
