Moodle: PeerMark from Turnitin

There may be broken links in this article, the GROK staff has been notified and is working to resolve the issue.

**PLEASE NOTE: At the end of the 2024 Spring Term (mid-May) the Turnitin Assignment 2 Moodle Activity will no longer be avaliable to add into courses. Turnitin Assignments will continue to work if imported, but we strongly advise recreating the assignments using the new integrated Turnitin plagiarism plugin found in the settings of Moodle's native Assignment, Workshop, Forum, and Quiz activities. See GROK 20591: Moodle Activity Settings: Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin Settings for more information.

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.
