The originator of Turnitin stated at Newcastle two years ago that it had
been always intended as a teaching tool, thus multiple submissions
should be allowed. However, my experience is that most students are not
well enough organised to submit early enough to read their report and
resubmit. Also, a paper from that conference (the 3rd International
Plagiarism Conference) suiggested that reading reports and resubmitting
doesn't actually teach them anything.
