Turnitin is used at the University of Newcastle, Australia, for all written assignments. Students must be allowed to see their Turnitin report and correct it prior to final submission. Thus the emphasis is on self detection and learning. In my School (graduate school of business) we use the overwrite feature with Turnitin and this appears to have had a positive impact on both timeliness and quality of assisignments.

At Bournemouth we are currently piloting the software at present and are looking to see how we might implement the software throughout the University. I am interested to know how differently institutions are using the software for deterring and detection, e.g. for developmental purposes; are students submitting their own work? Or are staff (administrative or lecturers) loading work for students, for some or all assignments etc (i.e. random/blanket checks), or whether Turnitin is being used for suspected cases only? I should imagine a combination of all three but would be interested in any comments on this subject. Perhaps some work has already been done in this area? I'd be happy to collate responses if helpful.
