To update a Turnitin Assignment for a new academic year, you need to change the date settings that govern when the item appears on Blackboard and the deadline for work to be handed in.
Go to the CONTROL PANEL
click on TURNITINUK ASSIGNMENTS (listed on the left hand side under ‘course tools’
click on view
click VIEW
You will then see the assignment inbox, click on ‘edit assignment’
assignment inbox: click on 'edit assignment'
This will bring up an editing panel, where you can reset the dates for the assignment to appear (start date) the deadline for the work to be handed in (due date). Remember to set the post date at any date after the due date (this is not a feature we use but the dates need to be set in this way for Turnitin to accept the assignment). alter the dates as required and remember to alter any date information in the instructions section. Click on submit when you are finished.
