Step 2 - Setting up the framework in Canvas

Before you begin - This guidance is relevant to administrators who have a Turnitin Feedback Studio, OC, or OC+ license.

Not sure? If you access Turnitin via turnitin.com or turnitinuk.com, you've found the correct guidance.

If you access Turnitin via a URL unique to your institution (for example: https://universityofturnitin.turnitin.com), check out the guidance relevant to you!

If you change your Canvas environment URL after previously registering the Plagiarism Framework integration, the integration will break if your institution chooses to have Canvas automatically configure a domain redirect from the old URL to the new URL. For more information, please contact Canvas support.

  1. Log into Canvas as an administrator.
  2. From the side of any page within Canvas, select the Admin tab.
  3. Select the account you'd like to configure with the framework.
  4. From the left-hand navigation, select Settings.

  5. Select the Apps tab from the top of the Settings page.

  6. Select View App Configurations.

  7. Select the + App button to open the Add App pop-up box.

    https://api.turnitinuk.com/api/lti/2p0/register (UK users only)

    https://api.turnitin.com/api/lti/2p0/register (All other users)

    If you have been approved by Turnitin to use our Sandbox environment for testing purposes, you should use a different registration URL:
    https://sandbox.turnitin.com/api/lti/2p0/register

  10. Select the Launch Registration Tool button.

  11. Enter the email address and password associated with your Turnitin administrator account.
