Hi Trish,
Jebar will be back on Monday.
As far as I'm aware Turnitin only checks text, it will be up to you to check pictures.

Subject: Images of text - a serious shortcoming in Turnitin?
Dear all,
We have discovered that a small number of students have submitted plagiarised text as an image ... which then is not picked up by Turnitin.
Have others had this problem? Has anyone got any suggestions as to how we might recognise this? Is this something that Turnitin themselves could address by identifying images that are mostly/entirely text?
Your thoughts on this subject would be much appreciated.
Regards, Trish
