Enable Similarity Detection for an Existing Assignment
This tutorial explains how to enable similarity detection for an assignment that has already been created in DTU Learn.
Follow these steps:
01
In your course navigation bar, click Assignments.
02
Click on the arrow next to the assignment for which you want to enable similarity detection and select Edit Assignment.
03
Expand Evaluation & Feedback and click Add External Tool.
04
Choose how student submissions should be stored:
-
Standard paper repository: The submission will be stored anonymously in Turnitin’s global database.
-
Institution paper repository: The submission will be stored in DTU’s repository within Turnitin and can only be accessed for comparison within DTU.
-
Do not store the submitted papers: The submission will not be stored after processing and therefore cannot be used for future similarity comparisons.
Note: If you choose the option "Allow students to view report after submitting", remember to explain to students how the similarity score is calculated.
If you need more information about the settings under Compare submissions against and Similarity Report, see: Using D2L with Turnitin’s Asset Processor – Turnitin Guides

Click Save and Close.
06
A similarity report will be generated for each student submission. To view the report, return to Assignments and click on the relevant assignment.

Click on Submissions. You will now be able to see the similarity score for each submission. You can also click on Details to open the full similarity report.
