How we use Turnitin is changing
The current technology that underpins the integration of Blackboard and Turnitin is coming to the end of its life and there is a new technology available. There are some differences you need to be aware of. The old technology is called a Building Block and the successor is known as an LTI.
The key dates are as follows:
25th April 2022: The new integration, Turnitin LTI Assignments, will be available to use in all courses. The existing building block will continue to work as normal
20th June 2022: The old Turnitin (Building Block) will no longer be used for new assignments. Existing assignments will still be available. New Assignments will be created via the new Turnitin LTI Assignments technology.
31st August 2022: Support from Turnitin for the Building Block ends.
31st August 2023: Historic submissions will only be available via a request to ServiceLine.
