Possible alternative for the lack of TurnItIn in Discussions

[NatalieH6]

Like many others here, I am frustrated at the lack of TurnItIn integration for Discussion boards posts. 

I am wondering if anyone has tried to create an assignment that requires peer review as an alternative?

From what I can tell, it would fail to promote the community-building that Discussions do, but at least it would go through TII. Curious for input/ideas/suggestions?

TIA!

Why not try it as a formative activity @NatalieH6 

Certainly we've considered this approach in the absence of automatic marking of routine formatives as complete ...

You can let us know how it goes ...

Can you elaborate on this please? I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
