Grade Anywhere™ with Turnitin for iPad®

LMS Integration Users

I use Turnitin through an LMS (e.g. Blackboard, Moodle, ANGEL, Sakai, D2L, etc.) or other integrated system. Can I use Turnitin for iPad to grade and leave feedback on my student’s papers?

Yes. Instructors who use Turnitin through an LMS can use Turnitin for iPad by generating a unique class access code from inside the document viewer and logging into the app using the class access code.

How do I generate a class access code?

As an integration user, you will need a unique class access code in order to log in to your classes on Turnitin for iPad. To generate a unique class access code:

  1. Sign into your LMS from your iPad
  2. Open the document viewer for a paper in the class
  3. Click on the iPad access button in the lower left
  4. Click “Generate code”
  5. The unique class access code will be displayed

NOTE: Class access codes are one-time use only. If you log out or “Unlink iPad from Turnitin,” you will need to generate a new access code for the class by repeating the steps above.

How do I add access codes for the my other classes in the LMS we use?

Every integration (LMS) class will have its own class access code. To access additional LMS-based classes from Turnitin for iPad:

  1. Generate the class's unique access code from Turnitin within your LMS
  2. Open Turnitin for iPad
  3. Tap the user profile button in the upper right
  4. Tap “Add class with access code”
  5. Enter the access code for the class
  6. Tap “Add”
  7. Repeat for remaining classes

My co-instructor gave me a class access code for our class but Turnitin for iPad won’t let me log in with it. Why?

Class access codes are one-time use only. You will need to generate your own access code for the class using these steps.

I have classes both through an LMS and through Turnitin directly. How can I see all of my classes in Turnitin for iPad?

If you use Turnitin both directly and through an LMS, sign into Turnitin for iPad using your Turnitin username and password first then follow these steps to add the access code for your LMS-based classes.
