It’s TurnItIn.com, not WebCT, for my Fall 2007 students

I’ve decided to use TurnItIn.com for my Fall 2007 IS 6100-EO and IS 7010-EO courses. I considered using WebCT, as I mentioned on July 20. However, the setup time for WebCT is more than I can handle.

Also, the new installation of WebCT is asking users the usual set of questions about Java.

I’m finishing the syllabi today, and should have those posted the IS 6100 and IS 7010 course pages by Tuesday.

I have set up the TurnItIn.com sections for each course. Students must sign themselves into their section to turn in assignments and see their grades. The appropriate course page link above has more information about the signin process.

Mr. Sodeman,

I’ve signed up with turnitin.com and surfed it a bit. It’s new to me and it seems pretty easy to understand. Do you know when you will post the first assignment so that it can be turned in on the website?

Thanks! Hong

The first paper assignment was posted to the course web page on Wednesday.

I’ll set up the assignment dropbox in our TurnItIn.com section by next week.
