Turnitin Plagiarism Detection Tool

Turnitin is a plagiarism checker that verifies the originality of submitted texts or documents compared to the Internet and Turnitin’s institutional repository. It can be used directly within a Canvas assignment, or documents can be uploaded manually to a web-based account for review. Turnitin replaces Unicheck as Chemeketa’s plagiarism detection tool beginning September, 2023.
