I'm making a series of instruction videos on how to use Canvas for my students, but I am having trouble making a video of how to submit a file when the students are uploading to Turnitin.com through Canvas. When I am in student view it gives me an error when I click submit so I can't record the steps to the submitting process.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to get around this problem?
Becky, to be sure, I'm going to share your question with the Plagiarism group and ping Dallas E Hulsey (our go-to resource in the Community for all-things-Turnitin)--but I believe you can only demonstrate what a student can do with Turnitin by having an actual fake student enrolled with an email credential that is associated with Turnitin; using Student View won't work in this instance.
Hi, Becky! Stefanie is correct! The Turnitin tool uses information from Canvas to sign users into Turnitin automatically. The test student does not have an email attached to it, so it cannot log into Turnitin. When I made my tutorials for Turnitin (available at Canvas and Turnitin), I had my local tech support folks create an actual student account that I could access in my sandbox course to create tutorials for students.
I hope that helps!
