I don't think it was pedagogy that drove the 24 hour decision but
fairness. I believe it was introduced so that every student had the
opportunity to submit and review their work at least once. If many kept
resubmitting then the system would slow anyway and some might not get
the first report let alone repeat reports.

I am sure someone will know whether my memory is good or not.

Thanks to Rose & several others who've responded; confirming that the 24
hours between changes is standard; and also that the revision option
would give me what I'm wanting. 
(I can see the pedagogy behind the 24 hours, but I also know that I have
students that do the first draft ... sit on it for a bit, & then revise
& re-submit in the wee small hours of the day it's due in ...)

Hi Emma

Don't know if anyone replied but looks as if you can do what you propose
- according to the official documentation:

http://turnitin.com/static/knowledge_base/creating_revision_assignments_
newti
i.html

Reasons cited are exactly as yours - where you want to preserve interim
versions. I hadn't thought this through before but may be useful to some
staff here too so thanks for raising.

Best

Rose

PS 24 hour delay on multiple submission single assignment is standard.

Subject: Best way to set up an assignment ...
 
I'm trying to set up an assignment (to be marked away from Turnitin). 

We've got it integrated with our VLE (WebCT Vista, if that makes a
difference)

It's for projects - the last way we did it, we set it up so that they
could revise until the due date. 

The two disadvantages we noticed were: 
1: The first submission seemed to generate reports within minutes;
subsequent ones from the same student took maybe 24 hours. Not ideal
when they were doing things last minute!

2: In some rather complex cases of plagiarism of ideas, rather than text
per-se, we realised that having a full audit trail of all the versions
could have been useful. 

1 is the more important reason, though. 

So, I was looking at the "Revision" option.

Do I therefore need to set it up in the following way: 

1: Create a "final" version - with the default "Paper Assignment" - and
set it so that it just can be a single submission (and students can see
it).

2: Then create, say, 5 revision ones, based on the above; setting them
to the same due dates etc., 

Would that have the desired effect? 

Would having 5 revision ones, rather than allowing them to have multiple
submissions to a single revision one, mean that they'd all come back
quickly?
(Or were we just unfortunate having to wait the 24 hours??)

Does that make sense???

Emma
