Turnitin vs. Originality Reports

[Arlin Roth]

My district is exploring Turnitin and Google's originality reports to discourage plagiarism. I am looking for feedback from teachers who have used one or both solutions.

I know that one advantage of originality reports is that they integrate with Classroom. Are that things that Turnitin does that originality reports don't do?

Thank you.

Yes! I can help with this and happy to discuss more — but here is a resource I created — https://confluence.cc.lehigh.edu/x/pIj0BQ

Overall — turnitin has MANY more databases and paywalled resources to check against for plagiarism.

OA is best used to help with citation and wide net searches on the WWW — but nearly as expansive as turnitin for cross checking.

Turnitin also now has a AI checker.  (Not sure how great it is….) 

I would say overall OA is a kid version of Turnitin — Turnitin has been around MUCH longer and has a lot of resources.

Hope this helps,

-Holly

Sorry — 

I should add that OA is useful and what I like about it — is that is does NOT store the students papers in a proprietary massive repository.

However, school matches will create a database of student papers that is controlled by the institution….
