Reusing Turnitin Assignments

To avoid issues reusing Turnitin assignments when copying (importing) courses in Moodle, you must reset the Turnitin assignments in the newly copied class.  To do this, follow these steps immediately after the course has been copied:

1. For each course, login to the course, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the main course screen, and select Reset
2. Scroll down and click on the Turnitin Assignments tab
3. Select "Copy Turnitin Assignments"
4. Click Reset Course
5. A new page will display, confirming that the reset has been performed.
6. Click Continue

Once the reset is complete, your Turnitin assignments can be updated and are then ready to be used by students.
