Time to say goodbye to the “Dan Marsden Turnitin plugin”… well almost!<\/p>\n

Turnitin have done a pretty good job of developing a new plugin to replace the code that I have been working on since Moodle 1.5!<\/p>\n

The new version of their plugin contains 3 components:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A module (called turnitintool2) which contains the majority of the code for connecting to their new API and is a self-contained activity like their old “turnitintool” plugin<\/li>\n
  2. A replacement plugin for mine (plagiarism_turnitin) which allows you to use plagiarism features within the existing Moodle Assignment, Workshop and forum modules.<\/li>\n
  3. A new Moodle block that works with both the above plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Moodle.org Plugins database entry<\/a> has been updated to replace my old code with the latest version from Turnitin, we have a number of clients at Catalyst using the new plugin and the migration has mostly gone ok so far – there are a few minor differences between my plugin and the new version from Turnitin so I encourage everyone to test the upgrade to the new version before running it on their production sites.<\/p>\n

    I’m encouraging most of our clients to update to the new plugin at the end of this year but I will continue to provide basic support for my version running on all Moodle versions up to Moodle 2.7 and my code continues to be available from my github repository here:
    \n    https:\/\/github.com\/danmarsden\/moodle-plagiarism_turnitin<\/a><\/p>\n

    Thanks to everyone who has helped in the past with the plugin I wrote – hopefully this new version from Turnitin will meet everyone’s needs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
