Turnitin at NSAC
NSAC has a campus license for Turnitin, an originality checking and plagiarism education and prevention service. The NSAC is using Turnitin to assist students with the development of their written materials, ensuring they use proper citation methods and maintain their academic integrity.
Use of the system by instructors is optional. However, if you plan to use Turnitin, instructors should include a note in their course outlines informing their students that Turnitin will be used in their class. Details on the service along with a link to the Turnitin policy at NSAC can be obtained at: http://nsac.ca/academics/ctl/turnitin.asp
The integration of Turnitin with our Learning Management System, Moodle, simplifies the use of Turnitin considerably. Linda Jack at the Centre for Teaching and Learning is responsible for administration of both systems and will be providing an orientation to the Turnitin/Moodle integration on August 31. To register for this session please go to: http://nsac.ca/academics/ctl/lunchbox.asp
If you have any questions about the use of Turnitin please direct them to Linda Jack at ljack@nsac.ca
