Integration of Turnitin with assessable Discussion Topics

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?

    Hi @Sue.S.4 ,

    Thanks for reaching out to us through the Community!

    I reviewed the possibility of integrating Turnitin with the Discussions tool, but unfortunately, this is not currently supported.

    There is already a Product Idea Exchange (PIE) request for this feature: https://desire2learn.brightidea.com/ideas/D10034

    I encourage you to upvote the PIE item so our development team can gauge interest and prioritise accordingly.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else.

    Thanks,

    Sangeetha

    Thanks for that - I have voted and posted a comment. I have a workaround but it is not optimal.
