Integration of Turnitin with assessable Discussion Topics

Sue.S.4

Question from academic: Is there a simple way to bulk down discussion forum posts and check in Turnitin? I can see how to download to pdf, but this was a highly engaged cohort and this will take a considerable amount of time. Looking for more efficient way if possible please?

 I think the answer is that currently, Turnitin's integration with Brightspace is limited to the Assignments tool and does not extend to discussion forum posts meaning you can't directly use Turnitin to check for plagiarism in discussion posts within Brightspace at this time. Is there a workaround aside from students putting all their posts in a document and uploading as an assignment?
