Turnitin Essentials
Learn about Turnitin essentials as well as the new features available for use in a variety of iLearn applications in this online workshop.
The standalone Turnitin assignment is no longer the only option to detect text-similarity in assessments. Turnitin can now be integrated within the iLearn Forum and iLearn Assignment. Register for this workshop to learn more about using Turnitin. The workshop will cover basic Turnitin usage, using Turnitin in other assessment activities, and marking with rubrics in Turnitin. This workshop is for staff who are new to using Turnitin, as well as the more seasoned marking veterans who wish to learn more about the new features.

Effective Quiz Design and Analysis
Learn about effective online quiz design and how to evaluate quiz design and student responses.
Online quizzes are a key option for both formative and summative assessment tasks. Effective quizzes are outcome based and provide timely and useful feedback to students and teachers. This workshop will cover quiz design, appropriate use of quizzes, feedback, and the analysis of results and responses. This workshop is for all staff who use or would like to use online quizzes and who wish to design reliable, valid quizzes, as well as assess and adapt existing quizzes.
