TurnItIn

About: Turnitin is a Syracuse University supported, web-based plagiarism-detection service, which compares papers with those in several of its own databases, as well as other large academic proprietary databases. Syracuse University has a license so students are allowed to submit essays to the Turnitin website, and have them scanned for plagiarism, which can prevent one student from using another student’s paper by identifying matching text between papers.

Access: Turnitin is a building block in Blackboard
