Turnitin is a tool that compares student papers with a vast array of online sources and paper repositories and returns a detailed report on similarities.
Turnitin can only be used within Canvas via student-submitted papers through assignments. The Turnitin website cannot be used directly for generating reports. When you are setting up your assignments, you can select Turnitin as your Plagiarism Review tool.

How to Access Reports
Turnitin originality reports can be accessed through the grade book through an icon in the Speedgrader.
Turnitin grades will not sync with the Canvas grade book. The grade will have to be manually entered into the grade book for your course.
