TII: Create Canvas Assignment
- Royce Robertson
- Alyssa Goudy
Log in to the course as a Canvas instructor.
From the left-hand navigation, click Assignments.
Either edit an existing assignment or add a new one.
Under the Submission Type, select External Tool. Then select Find to find the external tool.
Select the external tool configured by your Canvas administrator from the available list; your selection will populate the URL field.
Select TurnItIn and select Select to continue.
If Load this tool in a new tab is selected, the Turnitin assignment inbox will not load automatically on creation and the instructor will instead be shown a button to load the assignment in a new browser window. After creation, this button will need to be selected in order for the assignment to be fully configured within Turnitin.
8. Amend the assignment's Due and Available from dates (these dates will transfer into the Turnitin assignment).
9. Canvas allows for instructors to assign differing dates to different groups. As Turnitin can only receive one date, we would suggest applying the same date to all groups when using Turnitin within your Canvas assignment.
Note: We strongly recommend that you do not amend the Until Date. If a date is inserted in this field, students will not be able to access Turnitin once the date has passed.
10. Select Save & publish to publish this assignment. Select Save to save the assignment.
