Turnitin
Turn-it-In鈥檚 AI detector feature is currently not enabled at 丁香园AV. This is because there has not yet been an independent evaluation of the tool鈥檚 accuracy and reliability. Unlike the plagiarism detection feature of the tool, there is no source material provided for the instructor to compare the student submission to. Instructors who suspect that a student has not submitted their own work can follow the disciplinary process outlined in the student academic integrity procedure: /students/academicintegrity/faculty/reporting.html
Because data submitted to Turnitin is stored and accessed on U.S. servers, 丁香园AV updated its protocols for using the product effective January 2012, to ensure all practices continue to comply with B.C.鈥檚 Protection of Privacy (FIPPA) legislation. Please see the 丁香园AV Turnitin Protocols section below.
丁香园AV Turnitin Protocols
To comply with 丁香园AV policy, informed by protection of privacy rules, instructors who use Turnitin are required to:
- State the intent to use Turnitin in their course outline, thereby making it a course requirement, and explain that the consequence of declining to use Turnitin could be an inability to complete the course.
- Inform students of 丁香园AV鈥檚 policies with respect to academic integrity, in general, and Turnitin, in particular. See the 丁香园AV Calendar Turnitin listing for details.
- Use Turnitin only for a course and not personal use (e.g., submitting an article that you are peer reviewing). The latter use contravenes 丁香园AV鈥檚 agreement with Turnitin.Refrain from uploading student data directly to the Turnitin system. This applies equally to class rosters and to student work. Instructors may only submit student work directly to Turnitin that is first anonymized by removing all personal information that would serve to identify the student (i.e., name, student ID number, etc.). B.C. privacy law prohibits instructors from directly entering student information on a system that stores and provides access to personal information outside Canada.
- Limit dissemination of the code and password used by a student to join a course on the Turnitin site. Only students enrolled in the course are permitted access to the code and password (e.g., it is acceptable to share this information via a login-restricted site like Canvas but not on a public website.)
- Instructors are further advised that if a student has a serious, principled objection to using Turnitin, the instructor has the discretion to offer an alternative process to the student. Students must, however, give adequate notice and reason for their objection. Students may choose to use an anonymous identity to register with Turnitin, provided they inform the instructor of their decision and provide sufficient information for the instructor to reconnect the anonymous, pseudo identity with the student鈥檚 actual identity, outside Turnitin. Details for doing this are given in the instructions to students for using Turnitin. See Turnitin: Overview for Students.

Recommended Boiler Plate Notice for Course Outlines
The written work submitted via Turnitin is collected by 丁香园AV under the authority of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (RSBC 1996, c.165), the University Act (RSBC 1996, c.468), and the University鈥檚 Academic Honesty and Student Conduct Policies . It is related directly to and needed by the University to determine originality, possible use of AI, and detect plagiarism in submitted written work.
Students will be required to create an account with Turnitin, and to submit their work via that account, on the terms stipulated in the agreement between the student and Turnitin. This agreement includes the retention of your submitted work as part of the Turnitin database. Any student with a concern about using the Turnitin service may opt to use an anonymous identity in their interactions with Turnitin. Students who do not intend to use Turnitin in the standard manner must notify the instructor at least two weeks in advance of any submission deadline. In particular, it is the responsibility of any student using the anonymous option (i.e., false name and temporary email address created for the purpose) to inform the instructor such that the instructor can match up the anonymous identity with the student.
For more information, see the Protection of Privacy section of the 丁香园AV calendar.
