Moodle: PeerMark from Turnitin

**PLEASE NOTE: As of May 2024, the Turnitin Assignment 2 Moodle Activity is no longer available to add to courses. These Turnitin Assignments will continue to work if imported until they are discontinued on December 31, 2027. Faculty are advised to transition to Turnitin LTI 1.3 for ongoing Turnitin assignment support or use Turnitin's Plagiarism Plugin for Moodle Forum, Quiz, and Workship activities. To see a side-by-side comparison of the Turnitin Feedback Studio LTI 1.3 (their new standard) and the Plagiarism Plugin, see their comparison chart. For Moodle setup information, see GROK Turnitin Feedback Studio LTI or GROK Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin.

PeerMark is a peer review tool built into Turnitin that allows students to assess each other's submitted work. Instructors can enable PeerMark for a Moodle Assignment, Moodle Forum, Moodle Quiz, or Moodle Workshop in the Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings. Students can then access PeerMark tools in the activity.

Note: The activity must first be saved with Turnitin enabled for the PeerMark option to appear.
