Instead of completing all the settings on a single page within LearnZone, you will now be taken to a <strong>pop-up window<\/strong> where the assignment is configured directly in Turnitin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important change is the <strong>removal of assignment \u201cParts\u201d<\/strong>. This means that if your assignment includes multiple components (such as a draft and a final submission), you will now need to create a <strong>separate submission link<\/strong> for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Feedback Studio <\/strong>has also received a new, cleaner design while retaining its features.

Students can still submit assignments during this time, but will not be able to see their submission or receive confirmation until the assignment loads properly. We advise to set the assignment with <strong>at least a 2 hour delay between creation and start date<\/strong> (when it becomes available to students).<br><br><strong>Subsequent assignments load and work almost instantaneously.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video below to learn how to create assignments using the new version of Turnitin on LearnZone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Creating Turnitin Assignments on LearnZone\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1100300182?h=533bf531e6&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"439\" height=\"247\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a Turnitin assignment on LearnZone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Head to your chosen course and topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Create learning activity<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give your activity a title and customise LearnZone&#8217;s settings, such as visibility and access restriction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the <strong>Select content<\/strong> button located on the left side to open a pop-up window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure your Turnitin assignment in the pop-up window, giving it a name, instructions, and setting the correct start, due, and feedback release dates, as well as customising the submission and Similarity Report settings.
