The Education University of Hong Kong—Use of Turnitin for similarity check
Turnitin is an online service for students to check the similarities in submitted assignments. It is integrated with the University’s e-Learning platform, Moodle. All submitted assignments are compared for matching to sources in the Turnitin repository and Originality Reports are then generated automatically. An Originality Report summarizes the results of an originality check and highlights matching text. The original text, format, imagery and layout of the submitted assignment remain unchanged in the report. The report displays a Similarity Index, which shows the total percentage of content of the submitted assignment that matches with the sources in the Turnitin repository. The matching sources are presented in a user-friendly format, such as indicating the extent of matching text found by colours.
