The insendi Platform integrated 'Turn It In' (About Us | About Turnitin, Our Mission & Values | Turnitin) was added to the 'Activities' collection.
'TurnItIn' is a tool to collect and grade student submissions, its software checks for potentially unoriginal content by comparing submitted papers to several databases using a proprietary algorithm (originality checking and plagiarism prevention service). It scans its own databases and also has licensing agreements with large academic proprietary databases.
