Your Turnitin guidance is moving!
We’re migrating our content to a new guides site. We plan to fully launch this new site in July. We are making changes to our structure that will help with discoverability and content searching. You can preview the new site now. To help you get up to speed with the new guidance structure, please visit our orientation page .
Things to consider when using the Microsoft Teams Similarity integration
Below are some things to consider when using the Microsoft Teams Similarity integration:
- Students can access the Similarity report immediately after hand-in by refreshing the pending report.
- Teams does not share student metadata with Turnitin, so it is not possible to identify a student user as the same across Turnitin account set-ups.
- All submissions made to a Microsoft Teams assignment with Similarity will be indexed in the student submission database. This means if a paper is then later submitted to Turnitin Feedback Studio, a match will be found to a paper already submitted at the same institution (as above, student name unknown).
- Instructors and students have access to the same report view with limited match information.
- Submissions are checked when they are submitted. This means that collusion checking does not occur across the assignment. New submissions are only checked against existing submissions.
