Thanks for your replies. 

Steve - it is difficult to replicate the issue consistently. I suspect that the exact timing of the actions taken may affect whether or not it occurs. In one case, a Turnitin submission point was overwritten with the name and details of another; in another case, a Blackboard Content Folder was overwritten to appear as a Turnitin submission point, making it unavailable. 

Craig - we now recommend that staff avoid multiple tabs when editing Turnitin points in Blackboard! It would have been nice to be aware of this issue, and thus able to give that advice before it caused problems for some of our staff...

Yours

Hi Hanrahan

 

We have also noted odd things happening in Turnitin when a tutor has more than one Blackboard tab open. Things like submission point names being migrated to other course areas, and duplicate assignments being created. We are on Blackboard Release 9.1.201404.160205, Turnitin Basic 2.6.4.

 

Our recommendation to staff is to avoid multiple tabs in Blackboard!

 

Cheers

Subject: Issue with editing Turnitin submission points in Blackboard

 

We have recently encountered an issue whereby staff editing Turnitin submission points in Blackboard, with multiple Blackboard tabs open in the same web browser, have accidentally overwritten part of a submission point with information from another tab - sometimes rendering the submission point inaccessible. Has anyone else encountered this issue? We are using Blackboard Learn release 9.1.201410.160373, with Turnitin Building Block 2.6.7 (and hadn't encountered the issue before our recent upgrade to this version of the building block). 

 

Thanks in advance for any input! 

 

Yours
