To assist instructors in detecting plagiarism in student work, and to protect students from plagiarism, IUP subscribes to the Turnitin service, funded through technology fees.

Turnitin is a web-based plagiarism detection service which reviews submitted material for originality of content. Currently within Brightspace, Turnitin can be used as a resource to check for plagiarism via AI-generated content in D2L assignments, but not in D2L discussions or short answer quizzes. Please note that the accuracy of the AI detection tools are controversial and have been discussed within ACPAC recently. ACPAC should be able to provide some more direction on this soon. You can contact The Center for Teaching Excellence as well.
