Turnitin

Many institutions have adopted Internet-based e-learning portals or platforms (also known as a course management systems (CMS), learning management systems (LMS) or virtual learning environments (VLE)) to support their missions of teaching and learning.

iParadigms makes it easier to integrate our services with your choice of CMS/LMS/VLE through our new program called Open Options for Integrations. This optional add-on to your annual subscription agreement then allows you to log-in to TOOLS (Turnitin Open Options Library Site), a special web-based resource area that provides all the interfaces (APIs), code packages (such as Blackboard Building Blocks), instructions and documentation for connecting your CMS/LMS/VLE to Turnitin services — and keeping up with any changes your CMS/LMS/VLE provider makes.

Currently, these are some of the CMS/LMS/VLE we integrate with:

Use Your Own CMS/LMS/VLE Instead of Ours

A large number of CMS/LMS/VLE systems are available – both commercial and open source – to fit the wide variety of environments in the educational world. All CMS/LMS/VLEs address a basic set of capabilities for:

• Managing lists of classes and enrolled students;
• Submiting assignments (such as to a drop box or in box);
• Tracking assignments and student performance (such as in a gradebook); and
• Providing a “one stop” hub for creating and delivering course materials.

While Turnitin comes with its own VLE management environment (which includes the above-mentioned basic capabilities), we are committed to making it easy for customers to use Turnitin and related services such as GradeMark through their own choice of CMS/LMS/VLE.
