Can I play Devil's Advocate a bit and ask your reasoning? Presumably your institution has made this decision primarily on cost grounds. In which case any comparison is futile, as TurnitinUk is no longer free; and never was really because it was funded by JISC. My own pretty anecdotal view is you get what you pay for - including the training and support - or in your case, maybe you don't. Your comment "free (to Blackboard users)" is indicative. What might me really useful to fellow list subscribers would be an account by you of your experiences with this bolt on option to Blackboard, as Service ( a deliberate emphasis on the S) is what is critical for you, beyond any technical comparison with other detection packages.
